The expertise, depth and skill of our team enables us to take on and manage a busy litigation caseload
We have handled some of the largest civil cases through the New Zealand Courts over the last ten years.
These cases have been against generally well resourced parties represented by the major national law firms, specialist boutiques and often by senior counsel. We have well developed systems and resources to take on any commercial dispute and have particular expertise in the following areas listed below:
Expertise
Leaky & Defective Buildings
We have extensive experience in leaky and defective building claims. Resolving claims for Body Corporates, apartment owners, individual home owners and commercial property owners has been one of our core strengths since 2001.
Class Actions
In New Zealand, there is no direct equivalent to the US-style class action. However, there are a few procedures by which collective or representative actions can be brought before our courts. Dalzell Wollerman is one of only a handful of law firms that specialise in bringing them to court.
Commercial Law
Dalzell Wollerman can assist any type of business in any industry sector. We have successfully acted on both sides of commercial litigation, plaintiff and defendant, and for cases that extend into international jurisdictions.
Construction Law
The Dalzell Wollerman team is widely recognised in New Zealand for its expertise in relation to dispute resolution, particularly involving the construction sector and class actions.
Employment Law Disputes
Employment law is never dull: it’s very dynamic, specialised, and subject to regular legislative and case law developments, as employers are often at the forefront of social changes. Dalzell Wollerman has been an employment law specialist since our inception two decades ago.
Insurance Litigation
Dalzell Wollerman has been acting for New Zealand and international insurers since our firm was established in 2001. We have a number of insurance law specialists within our team and a track record of assisting leading New Zealand insurers with all aspects of insurance litigation and claims handling.
Land and Property Disputes
Property law can be complex, leading to drawn-out negotiations and court actions. When you work with us, you can expect pragmatic legal advice and action that looks after your best interests. We know how to step around the pitfalls of property litigation to achieve a desirable outcome in the shortest possible time.
