During Covid-19 alert level 2 our premises will be open for essential face-to-face client meetings. However, meetings must be by appointment and if the meeting can be held over audio-visual link that is still our preferred option.

The McCaw Lewis team will continue working from home at alert level 3. We are available and ready to assist clients with all of our usual services.

The recorded webinars we hosted this week are now available to view. Q&A Panel: Legal Impacts of COVID-19 on New Zealand Businesses with Daniel Shore, Renika Siciliano, Laura Monahan and Dale Thomas; and Tips for Employers: Rights & Responsibilities During COVID-19 and Beyond with Renika Siciliano.

The Directors at McCaw Lewis are pleased to announce Jessica Middleton has been promoted to Associate. Jessica is a member of our Commercial Team and joined the McCaw Lewis whānau in 2018.

As we approach the end of the initial four-week lockdown at alert level four, many businesses are now considering how they will navigate through the various alert levels and ‘new normal’ over the coming months. As we face these changes and challenges, we invite you to two events which will provide insight and practical guidance to business leaders.

One of our talented Managing Associates, Laura Monahan, has been profiled in the latest edition of the Waikato Business News as part of their 'Remarkable Women' feature. It's great to take a moment and celebrate the mahi our team are doing, both at work and in the community.

Following today's announcement by the Prime Minister we will be temporarily changing the way we work. Tonight at 5pm our reception will physically close and we will adjust to a remote phone reception until we are given advice it is safe to open again. We will continue to operate at full capacity, with our team working from their homes. We look forward to finding alternate ways to meet with our clients and work together. Kia kaha.

The Directors at McCaw Lewis are very pleased to announce four promotions this week. Danielle Cronin has been promoted to Senior Legal Executive; and Zane Mora, Kuru Ketu and Ewen Macpherson have been promoted to Senior Solicitor.

Today is International Women’s Day. To celebrate, we’d like to introduce you to three wāhine who have joined our firm recently: Rebecca Stent, Olivia Carter and Charlene Reale.

We wish to congratulate Judge Kiriana Tan who was sworn in as a District Court Judge on Tuesday. In a packed Hamilton courtroom, friends and whānau paid tribute to Kiriana's courage and her passion for advocating for those in need.

Congratulations to the Men's McCaw Lewis Northern Māori Cricket team who triumphed in a 74-run victory over Lakelands Māori at a recent invitational at Smallbone Park in Rotorua.

The Directors are very pleased to announce three senior appointments within the McCaw Lewis whānau. Jonathan Aquilina has been appointed to Special Counsel, while Laura Monahan and Dale Thomas have both been appointed to Managing Associate.

Last night the Hamilton ANZ team presented us with a special koha to celebrate our centenary. We were humbled to receive a grove of 10 trees, dedicated to us in the Ed Hillary Hope Reserve through the wonderful mahi of the Native Forest Restoration Trust.

We are very pleased to introduce you to Kaylee Bird and Cree Ratapu - our summer Law Clerks!
