recognised leaders in the development of the law of negligence
In August 1928 Mae Donoghue met a friend at a cafe in Paisley, Scotland. What happened there – and the court case it led to – forever changed the law of negligence.
For over thirty years the lawyers at Heaney & Partners have been establishing their reputations as recognised leaders in the development of the law of negligence.
The insurance companies, local authorities, real estate agents, professionals, employers and others who choose us to handle their claims want their problems resolved quickly and without fuss.
They trust that we will partner with them to find the safest path to the most satisfactory solution.
We understand that being a party to litigation is an expensive and stressful experience. We work closely with our clients to guide them through the process including obtaining the best expert advice. We are strong advocates in a mediation setting and have an excellent settlement success rate.
More recently we have been involved in arbitration work including an international reinsurance arbitration arising out of the Christchurch earthquakes.
Sometimes our clients want matters to proceed to trial for important precedent of strategic reasons. Our lawyers are experienced litigators who have appeared at every level of the courts in New Zealand. We think our repertoire of reported cases speaks for itself and proves why we are recognised leaders in the development of the law of negligence.
