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.

“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.
