We understand that relocating to a new country can be a daunting task, which is why we aim to make the legal side of immigration as easy and stress-free as possible for our clients. Unlike licensed immigration advisers, as lawyers, we can assist with the entire process from initial applications to reviews or appeals in courts and tribunals. We ensure that your application is presented to Immigration New Zealand in the best way possible, while also ensuring that all the necessary legal processes have been followed.

Whether you are applying for a family visa, seeking refugee status, or applying for an employment visa, our experienced team is here to help. We have the skills and knowledge to guide you through the complicated processes involved in these visa applications.

Furthermore, if you believe a decision made by immigration authorities is incorrect, we can review it to determine whether you have a right of appeal to the Tribunal or Courts. Our specialized expertise and legal knowledge enable us to assist you in these situations.

If you are currently in New Zealand without a valid visa, we understand that you may be facing a challenging situation. However, it is crucial to present your best case possible to increase your chances of staying in the country. We can provide the necessary assistance to help you resolve your visa situation.

New Zealand also offers pathways for those interested in investing in the country. Our firm has experience in guiding clients through this process, ensuring a smooth investment journey.

At D&S Law, we are proud to have lawyers like Stewart Dalley, who not only specialize in adoption, surrogacy, and family creation law but also have personal experience in these areas. Stewart and his partner were the first same-sex de facto couple to adopt children in New Zealand, giving him unique insight into the adoption process.

In addition to adoption, our firm can assist those seeking to donate or receive donated sperm by drafting agreements and parentage agreements. We also provide advice and legal reports for ECART (Ethical Committee on Assisted Reproductive Technology) approval, which is often required when using fertility clinics in New Zealand.

Furthermore, both Pooja and Stewart are passionate advocates of human rights. Our team has experience with the Human Rights Review Tribunal and the Human Rights Commission mediation process, ensuring that your rights are protected throughout the legal proceedings.
