The Wigram office of Saunders & Co, a firm with offices across Christchurch in the CBD, Papanui, Wigram and Ferrymead, sits at 116A The Runway in Wigram. Clients who have used the firm describe help with residency applications and with resource consent and district plan matters, including a major museum redevelopment and a change to a city plan. The firm says all its offices give the same level of client experience and advice, and its fees are the same at every location.
New clients start by filling in a contact form on the firm's website and choosing an office, and the form asks why they picked that office. The firm says it cannot always meet cost expectations, so it asks clients to discuss fees with their lawyer before giving instructions. Within a kilometre of the office are two other law firms on Open Locally, Property Transfer Office at 0.1 km and Fern Law at 0.7 km, and neither has a rating listed.
