About Five Bays Lawyers
Five Bays Lawyers takes its name from the string of bays from west to east that surround the suburbs of Auckland’s Eastern Bays — Okahu Bay, Mission Bay, St Heliers Bay, Karaka Bay and Wai O Taiki Bay. These coastal landmarks represent not only the beauty of our community but also the values we bring to our practice: connection, integrity, and trust. Based in St Heliers, we provide clear and practical legal advice across property, matrimonial, trusts, estates and commercial matters. Like the bays themselves, our work is grounded in strength yet approachable in nature, ensuring that every client receives guidance tailored to their needs. At Five Bays Lawyers, we are proud to stand alongside the people and businesses who make our community thrive.
