The New Zealand Law Society Te Kāhui Ture o Aotearoa is the kaitiaki of an exemplary legal profession in Aotearoa. We want everyone in Aotearoa to benefit from a strong, progressive and trusted legal profession.
Our Strategy outlines our responsibilities and strategic goals for 2023-2026 as well as our priorities, key activities and outcomes.
Our Rautaki Māori (Māori Strategy) articulates our commitment to honouring the bicultural foundations of Aotearoa New Zealand and meeting the current and further needs of our legal profession. This includes meeting our obligations as a modern regulator and representative body by reflecting Māori cultural values, equity and inclusion, and recognising the unique and enduring constitutional significance of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
Our Rautaki Māori sets out a practical pathway for the New Zealand Law Society Te Kāhui Ture o Aotearoa to meet that commitment as we develop our organisation, enhance our regulatory impact, and bring value to our profession and Aotearoa.
Our regulatory strategy outlines the purpose of our regulatory role, our approach to regulation and how we focus our regulatory efforts for the benefit of both the profession and consumers of legal services.
