Our Objectives

Support Members

One of our key goals is to support our members to be healthy, productive and effective employment law practitioners. Naturally this benefits our members but also has flow-on benefits for members of the public who approach our members for assistance in employment relationship matters.

Promote access to justice

Many of our members are able to offer flexibility in their fee structures or alternatively, services on legal aid. This means that people who might not previously have been able to access quality legal advice or advocacy now have greater access to justice

Improve Quality

Another of our key goals is to improve the quality of employment law advocacy in NZ by providing support and collegiality, further education and opportunities for networking to our members so that they can provide top quality professional advice and advocacy to members of the public.

Regulate industry

One of our key goals is to support our members to be healthy, productive and effective employment law practitioners. Naturally this benefits our members but also has flow-on benefits for members of the public who approach our members for assistance in employment relationship matters.
