# Service Areas | Wakatipu Chambers

> Chambers sits on Shotover Street in central Queenstown, serving the towns and subdivisions of the Queenstown-Lakes district — with appearances in District and High Courts across New Zealand, and estate matters taken nationwide by video.

## Areas we serve

- **Queenstown** (Queenstown-Lakes — chambers location) — Home ground — Wakatipu Chambers at Unit 1, Level 2, 36 Shotover Street. Face-to-face meetings, instructions and Queenstown District Court appearances all run from here.
- **Frankton** (Queenstown-Lakes) — Queenstown's commercial hub and the gateway to the airport. Most Frankton clients meet at chambers just a short drive up the road, or run the whole matter from home by phone and video.
- **Kelvin Heights** (Queenstown-Lakes) — Across the bay from central Queenstown, looking back at the town. Instructions are taken at chambers or remotely — both are an easy option from this side of the lake.
- **Sunshine Bay** (Queenstown-Lakes) — A few minutes west of the town centre along the lakefront. Local clients usually meet with us at chambers on Shotover Street, or handle the entire matter from home by phone and video.
- **Fernhill** (Queenstown-Lakes) — Above Sunshine Bay on the road toward Glenorchy. Matters are handled at chambers in town or run entirely remotely, whichever suits.
- **Bobs Cove** (Queenstown-Lakes) — On the Glenorchy road west of Queenstown. Instructions run from chambers or by video — both work well for clients out this way.
- **Arthurs Point** (Queenstown-Lakes) — Just north of Queenstown on the Shotover River — a quick drive over the hill to chambers whenever a meeting needs to be in person.
- **Jacks Point** (Queenstown-Lakes) — Lakeside community south of Frankton. Most instructions from here run through chambers in town or over video call, as preferred.
- **Hanleys Farm** (Queenstown-Lakes) — The newer subdivision growing fast near Jacks Point. Clients here typically meet at chambers in town or work with us remotely.
- **Lake Hayes Estate** (Queenstown-Lakes) — Sitting between Frankton and Arrowtown — a short drive in either direction to meet, with phone and video easily covering the rest.
- **Shotover Country** (Queenstown-Lakes) — Family-focused subdivision near Lake Hayes. Local clients typically meet at chambers in Queenstown or work with us over video.
- **Arrowtown** (Queenstown-Lakes) — The historic town twenty minutes from Queenstown. Matters listed in the Queenstown District Court are easy to attend from here.
- **Glenorchy** (Queenstown-Lakes) — At the head of Lake Wakatipu. Most Glenorchy matters can be handled remotely, with in-person meetings at chambers in Queenstown.
- **Wanaka** (Queenstown-Lakes) — An hour over the Crown Range. Most Wanaka matters run by phone or video; when a meeting is needed, chambers is the practical spot.
- **Albert Town** (Queenstown-Lakes) — A few minutes from Wanaka on the road to Hawea. Matters run remotely or, where in-person is needed, at chambers in Queenstown.
- **Lake Hawea** (Queenstown-Lakes) — North of Wanaka on the lakefront. Most instructions from Hawea run by video, with chambers as the usual meeting point when needed.

## Frequently asked questions

**Do you only act for clients based in Queenstown?**

No. Chambers is on Shotover Street in central Queenstown, but as barristers we appear in District and High Courts across New Zealand. Piers takes Family Protection Act estate litigation from anywhere in the country by online video, and Brett also accepts briefs in Auckland. Where you live rarely limits whether we can act.

**Where do we meet if I'm in Wanaka, Arrowtown or somewhere else around the lakes?**

Most matters can be handled by phone or video without travel either way. Where an in-person meeting is needed, chambers at Unit 1, Level 2, 36 Shotover Street is usually the practical option. For matters listed in the Queenstown District Court we will be in town anyway, which makes a face-to-face meeting straightforward.

**Can you appear in courts outside Queenstown?**

Yes. As barristers we can appear in any New Zealand District or High Court, and matters outside Queenstown are typically run by a combination of remote preparation and travel for the appearances that need it. Piers also retains a current New South Wales practising certificate, so matters with an Australian element can be assisted too.

**Do you offer remote or video consultations?**

Yes. Estate litigation in particular runs almost entirely by video — instructions, affidavit preparation and mediation can all happen remotely — and most other matters start with a short call by phone or video. In-person appointments at chambers are always available where you prefer them.
