Immigration
Specialists
Since 1996

We have been doing New Zealand immigration for a long time. Why? Because it is really satisfying to help change people’s lives, by finding new ways to attack the problems that they bring to us. We love the many challenges of this work, which keep changing from week to week.

Getting to a solution sometimes calls us to use left-field thinking, going beyond the surface facts. We can’t always find the winning answer. But our track record of success shows that we don’t like to give up or to lose.

At Laurent Law we bring nearly 40 years of combined experience to the table. Let us put them to work for you.

Yoong Nguyen

“Thank you so much, Sahar!”

I worked with Sahar at Laurent Law on a very difficult and complex case that took a long time to resolve. Throughout the entire process, Sahar showed exceptional professionalism, patience, and dedication. Thanks to her hard work and expertise, my husband Tuyen has finally received his Resident Visa.

Sahar was always clear, supportive, and proactive in every step of the process.
I am truly grateful and highly recommend Laurent Law—especially Sahar—for anyone dealing with challenging immigration matters.

“We had the privilege of working with James……….”

I cannot recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, James was calm, professional, and incredibly responsive. He explained each step clearly, reassured us when the process felt overwhelming, and ensured that no detail was overlooked. I can honestly say that we would not have achieved this outcome without his expertise and guidance.

J Li

“I believe that Laurent Law has played an important role in my life path”

I am a client of Laurent Law, and I am a student at the University of Auckland. I believe that Laurent Law has played an important role in my life path.My application for a New Zealand visa was rejected, and I had to face the consequences of the end of my  future professional pathways and go back to my home country.

Under urgent circumstances, I found Mr. James Turner and Mr. Laurent representing my request to submit a reconsideration application. The result is successful. Now I have the chance to continue living in New Zealand.
