Hawke’s Bays leading full-service law firm
As one of Hawke’s Bay’s leading full-service law firms, we’ve built our business around people and their legal needs. We know that life is constantly evolving and often throws the unexpected into our paths, which is why we are committed to not only meeting all our clients’ current requirements but also anticipating any future issues that aren’t on their radar yet. It’s part of our belief in building relationships for life. Built over time, with an intimate knowledge of our clients’ goals and needs, we are in the best position to advise on their professional and personal legal needs.
We are driven by your needs rather than our own interests. By working in with this kind of relationship, you can expect to get insightful advice that will help take your business and/or personal life where it belongs: forward.
This is one of the reasons why we are known as the local lawyers for everything life throws at you. We’ve built our services to complement the ever-changing needs of each business and life stage. That’s because the most common issues that arise can usually fit neatly into an age group or life stage: young adults, parents, and retirees.
Life seen through the lens of a lawyer requires a lot of legal support. This is especially true when you plan success in your life and not simply hope for the best. Breaking this “legal timeline” down further, a typically driven life might look like the following…
You leave the education system and enter the workforce, so you’ll need employment and contract law. You work your way up the ladder and find yourself on either side of mediation and arbitration or even litigation. Perhaps you branch out on your own or continue to climb the corporate ladder, in which case commercial law, and perhaps immigration law will enter your life. During this time you’ll likely have connected with a significant other and be looking at family law and trusts; you’ll probably buy property and need conveyancing, property and relationship property law solutions, too. As you have an eye on the setting horizon, family law and estate planning and wills become more of a focus, along with estate administration.
Carlile Dowling can be at your side every step of the way, providing excellent service and great value. We have a long history in Napier dating back to 1874 and understand what makes people tick. It’s one of the reasons why we’ve become the most trusted law firm in Hawke’s Bay.

Below are some more comments from our clients:
“Jessica and Patrick were both really professional and helpful. They kept me informed throughout the whole house sale process & made it way less stressful than I thought. Thank you!”
“All of you were lovely, helpful and respectful. Our current lawyer is in Cambridge, which is not too far away, so when we next need business carried out, we will approach your company to see if we can transfer our account to there.”
“Service was excellent, fast and efficient. After not dealing with a Lawyer for quite a few years and our family Lawyer retiring, I was a bit unsure on where to go. My accountant recommended Paul at Carlile Dowling, he was a pleasure to deal with. I have a few more things to sort out, so I’m happy I have found a new Lawyer.”
“Teresa was fantastic. The bank wasn’t very helpful a lot of the time, and caused a lot of stress but Teresa handled it and we now have a home to call our own because of her.”
