Testimonials

Haydon Cunninghame and the team at AWS Legal did a fantastic job helping us with a trust matter. AWS were very knowledgeable, quick to respond and friendly to deal with. I would highly recommend contacting Haydon to assist with any property or trust matter.”

- A. Grayson

‘Thanks to the proper and appropriate support by AWS Legal Staff, my application for critical purpose visitor visa was approved by INZ and I could enter New Zealand without any problem. Afterwards, my work visa was also approved much earlier than I expected. As a matter of fact, while border of New Zealand had been closed due to Covid19, I had not been sure that I could come into New Zealand and almost been at a loss. This is not too much to say that I am not where I am now without support of AWS Legal. Especially, Ms. Chantal Ryan, a senior solicitor and a person in charge of my visa issue, supported me all the way from beginning to the end being very friendly and with can-do approach.  I sincerely appreciate her support.”

- H.T.

“The relationship we’ve built with Haydon Cunninghame and Rachel Buckley is second to none through seamless communication, efficient turnaround on workflows, and sound advice. We feel like we’re in safe hands with Haydon and his team, and they genuinely have our best interests at heart. I’m excited to continue our personal and commercial investment journey knowing that we’ve got top shelf legal partners available when we need them.”
