Leading New Zealand Family & Relationship Property Lawyers
Denham Bramwell’s Family Law team has been recognised by Doyle’s Guide, in its 2025 listing of Leading New Zealand Family & Relationship Property Lawyers. This year, Sarah Vyle has been named a Leading Lawyer, Fiona Cowan a Recommended Lawyer, and our Associate, Tala Grace Skeens, has been recognised as a Rising Star.
Recognition like this is not just the result of one person's work. It’s the culmination of many hours of collaboration, dedication, and a shared commitment to delivering exceptional service to our clients.
Family law matters are often emotionally charged and complex. Our team works hard to balance legal expertise with compassion, guiding clients through some of life’s most challenging moments. Before we meet with clients, there are early morning strategy sessions, meticulous legal research, and difficult conversations where we challenge each other to consider different perspectives to achieve the best possible outcomes for our clients.
None of this would be possible without the trust placed in us by those who choose Denham Bramwell to represent their interests, the assistance of our support team who keep everything running smoothly, and the collaborative environment that allows us to share knowledge and ideas across the firm.
The Tier 2 ranking we’ve maintained in Doyle’s Guide speaks to the consistency of our service, but what matters most is the impact we have on our clients' lives. We secure fair divisions of relationship property, resolve parenting disputes, and help clients plan for their family’s future. In every case, there is a chance to make a meaningful difference.
This recognition reflects the team’s hard work and the values that drive us. To our clients, colleagues, and the wider legal community - thank you for being part of the journey.

Why you need an Enduring Power Of Attorney (EPA)
An EPA allows you to choose who will make decisions for you in the future if injury or illness means you can’t make decisions or manage your own affairs. If something happens to you and you do not have an EPA, your family would have to apply to the Family Court to be able to act on your behalf
