Ka mahi hoki mātou mā te Kāwantanga matua ki te whakatū kaupapa (pāpori mai, tūmataiti mai hoki) ki te whenua Māori. Auld Brewer Mazengarb & McEwen acts for various post settlement governance entities, pan-iwi organisations in the farming and health sectors and whānau and hapū based businesses. We also act for central Government in implementing housing (social and private) initiatives on Māori land.

 

Ka āwhina mātou ki te tuhi puka whakahaere tikanga kāwana, kirimana tauhokohoko hoki.   I roto i ēnei mahi, e āta mārama ana mātou ki ngā uara, me te horopaki ahurea e miramira ai te whakahaere tikanga kāwana me te whakamahi i ngā hinonga Māori.  

We assist with drafting governance documents and commercial contracts.   In doing so, we are conscious of the values and cultural context which underpin Māori entities’ governance and operations.
