About Us

David Galbraith established Galbraiths in 1982. Before running a successful general practice in Hawkes Bay, David had been a partner in a large law firm in Whangarei. He relocated to Auckland in 1978 and established Galbraiths in 1982 in Howick.

The firm originally shared its office with The Howick and Pakuranga Times management in Rice’s Mall before David purchased a unit in Fencible Chambers at the corner of Fencible Drive and Moore Street. The success of Galbraith’s necessitated David leasing additional space in the unit next door.

In March 2006, our practice was acquired by existing employees Michael Taylor and Stephen Munro. We continued to expand and took over the local law firm Eastland Legal in June 2010.

Michael recently took a step back from full time work but continues to share his vast legal knowledge as a Consultant to the firm.  In 2021 the partnership became an incorporated company and Kim Beange joined Stephen Munro as a director.

Today, we are a team of well-established and experienced legal experts who continue to work hard to deliver the best results for our clients.
