Legal Associates: Expert Immigration, Property & Family Law Services

Legal Associates is a multicultural law firm established in September 2014 by Raj Singh and Ashima Singh, both from migrant backgrounds who identified a need for specialised legal services and legal education among migrant communities. The firm has grown to serve over 8,000 successful cases with a team of more than 20 specialist lawyers representing over 10 ethnicities, earning more than 20 honours and awards for their exceptional service to the community.

The firm specialises in immigration law, providing comprehensive services for those seeking to immigrate to New Zealand and Canada, including temporary visa applications, residency applications, skilled migrant category applications, and Immigration Protection Tribunal appeals. Their property law services encompass conveyancing for both commercial and residential properties, business sales and purchases, leases, and subdivision matters. Legal Associates also offers family law services, employment law advice, criminal law representation, and wills and estates planning.

Ashima Singh holds the distinction of being the first Indian-born New Zealand lawyer to become a Notary Public, admitted to the Notaries Society of New Zealand in 2022. The firm's commitment to community service is demonstrated through their free legal clinic held every Saturday during school terms, providing preliminary legal advice at no cost to those who cannot afford legal representation. Legal Associates has established itself as a leading law firm in South Auckland, transcending cultural and language barriers to provide quality legal advice to both migrant and local communities.
