Staley Cardoza Lawyers

Staley Cardoza Lawyers is a locally owned, boutique law firm. We believe that being a great lawyer begins with making clients feel comfortable and understanding what matters most to you. We prioritise putting you and good results at the heart of everything we do.

Since 1998 we have built a reputation for trusted legal advice, strong client relationships, and effective outcomes for clients throughout Dunedin, Otago and Aotearoa.

Nearly three decades on, our values remain the same and the firm continues to offer pragmatic and effective advice, and we're pleased to welcome new faces to the team.

We can assist with you with property and commercial matters (land transactions, commercial leases, subdivisions, buying or selling a business, shareholders’ agreements, family trusts, and estate planning, and more).

Rachel Cardoza heads our family law team, and can assist with pre-nups, separations, care and contact arrangements for children, personal safety issues, and questions about a loved one's ability to take care of themselves. Legal aid may be available to qualifying clients for a number of these issues. We are a friendly and experienced team of lawyers and look forward to assisting you.
