Our History

In 2020, Taiaroa Legal and Ngaire Smith Lawyer came together to create Summit Law, combining forces to become the best local law firm for our community.

Where to Find Us

We are based at 1005 Ferry Road, Ferrymead, often with a happy dog to greet you.

Who are we?

At Summit Law, we pride ourselves on providing trustworthy legal support centred around compassion and collaboration.

Our focus on amicable outcomes makes us the Christchurch law firm of choice for those looking for balanced, considered legal advice.

Guiding the New Journey

Ngaire has passed the torch to the new directors, Naahi Taiaroa and Miria Scott-Toft, who bring fresh energy, experience, and a client-focused approach to the firm. They are committed to continuing the values and high standard of service that clients have come to expect, while also bringing new ideas and perspectives to enhance the way the firm works.

Both Naahi and Miria are always open to feedback and continually looking for ways to improve the client experience. With Ngaire continuing as a consultant to provide guidance and ensure a smooth transition, clients can feel confident that their matters are in capable, caring hands.

Friendly Professionals

We are professional and accessible.

We’re also the kind of people that'll chat to you at the dog park, say hi at the supermarket and remember to ask about your overseas trip.

Proud Sponsors

We are proud to support our friends at Dogwatch Sanctuary Trust who rescue, care for and rehome dogs across the Canterbury region. Their adoption centre is located in Bromley, just a few minutes from our office.
