Thomas & Co is a well established law practice that commenced business in 1966 when the original partner opened what was then only the second law office in New Lynn and just the 6th in West Auckland.

We are located in the Commercial centre that is the Gateway to the green belt West Auckland area that was Waitakere City. The practice has grown with the area (consistently the fastest or second fastest growing area in NZ according to the 5 yearly government census).

Principals and staff are local residents so know the area and people and are thus able to give practical advice on options available to you.
