We hope everyone is doing okay in lockdown!!

We were saddened to hear that the Cancer Society have had to cancel their Daffodil Day Street Appeal this year due to Covid-19. This has been a huge loss.

The Cancer Society urgently needs our help now more than ever. Please follow the link to donate at www.daffodilday.org.nz and share with your friends, family, and co-workers.

Cancer doesn't stop, and we shouldn’t either! With your help, the Cancer Society can continue their valuable work in our communities.

Cancer doesn't stop, so we won't either.

Last week we celebrated Mental Health Awareness Week at Jenny Beck Law! ❤️🧘🏻‍♀️

We at Jenny Beck Law have a strong focus on mental health as it is something that affects everyone in one way or another. We really wanted to make last week special for the whole team and take time away from the office.

On Wednesday we kicked things off with ‘Warm Fuzzy Wednesday’ where we each delivered a delightful wee note to another team member.

On Thursday we enjoyed a delicious picnic lunch in the sun at Woodhaugh gardens. We ended the day at a relaxing yoga session with Demelza at her studio. This was the perfect way to end our week! We hope you all took time out to do something that warms your heart last week (and every other week) too. ❤️

We think he will rock his new haircut! Please feel free to show your support by donating at

Welcome to my Shave for a Cure fundraising page! I’m going full 2007 Britney Spears and completely shaving my head. This does mean giving up my life long dream of being a Pantene model, but it is for something a bit more worthwhile. I’m raising money for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand, and...

Good Evening

Some of our clients have asked us to clarify what services we can offer them over this period. We thought we would share that with our Facebook community too. Urgent care and protection and domestic violence matters in the Family Court are classified as an essential service during the Level 4 lockdown. We are therefore available to assist if you have care and protection concerns for yourself or your children and/or have been subject to domestic violence.

If you require any advice regarding shared care arrangements, relationship property matters, enduring power of attorney, trusts, estates, wills, conveyancing, employment disputes and all of our other usual legal services please do not hesitate to contact us.

We are currently set up to work from home and we are happy to confirm our team are navigating the new technology (Teams, Zoom etc) well! 😃
