our services

New Zealand has a great history of producing outstanding artists. However, far too often the artistic community is not given the recognition or support it deserves to enable it to capitalise on the great reputation New Zealand Art has at home and abroad. This is certainly not the case at McLaughlin Law where we pride ourselves on being able to provide top notch legal advice for those involved in the arts. Whether you are a painter, sculptor, photographer, run a gallery or an arts focused organisation, or are in any other way involved in artistic endeavours in New Zealand, McLaughlin Law is keen to be of assistance. At McLaughlin Law we know the phrase ‘starving artist’ is sometimes unfortunately not too far from the truth, and consequently we are proud to be able to offer a certain amount of free legal advice in certain situations as part of our Leg Up Scheme.

Our Commercial Law, Intellectual Property and IT Law expertise also enables us to provide you advice and guidance on not only art law matters but wider commercial arrangements and also the issues that arise in respect of art and the internet.
