Introduction to Gallaway Cook Allan

Gallaway Cook Allan is a large Otago-based full-service law firm with offices in Dunedin and Wanaka.  We act for commercial businesses, private clients, and local and regional government, across the South Island, nationally and internationally.

We are a cohesive team with a culture that allows each individual to bring their best self to work. We want every member of our team to enjoy their time at work, enjoy their colleagues and work together to provide the best possible service for our clients. 

Our culture sets us apart.  Our staff tell us that we are friendly, approachable, open to different ways of working, and that we value and trust each other to do the right thing.  We value working hard, together, to deliver exceptional solutions for clients.  

Doing the right thing for each other, our community and the environment is a core part of who we are.  Our impact strategy is built on three pillars: community, environment, and team and includes actions in areas such as accessibility, pro-bono, community sponsorship and partnerships, sustainability and emissions reduction, wellbeing and of course, a welcoming environment for everyone.    

Agribusiness and Property Team

We act on a range of property transactions, for clients of all sizes – from businesses and developers to first home buyers and high net worth individuals. Our team handles residential and rural conveyancing, commercial property, leasing, easements, subdivisions / developments and more complicated property matters.  

What sets us apart? It's our people-centric approach. With a close-knit team across two offices, we offer the best of both worlds: the resources and development prospects of a larger firm, coupled with the warmth and camaraderie of a smaller and a tight-knit Agri property team. We value inclusivity and work-life balance, fostering an environment where everyone feels supported and empowered.
