Serving the Community for 90 Years
Norris Ward McKinnon was founded in April 2001 from the mergers of long established Hamilton law firms Norris Ward (1919),

McKinnon & Co and O’Neill Allen (1956).
For 90 years, we have worked with the people of Hamilton and the greater Waikato to provide innovative legal solutions on a wide range of issues. Our key objective is to offer legal services in a local context, based on strong local understanding.
Our philosophies on client service and community involvement have been embedded in the culture of the firm right from the beginning. Continuation of this tradition is something we intend to stay close to.
We pride ourselves on being as visably proactive with our community support now, as we were when our firm was first founded. Our reputation for excellence has always been our trademark.
