Farms, property developments and commercial leases make up much of the work at Tom Evatt & Co, a law firm on level 1 of 151 High Street in Christchurch's central city. The firm acts for individuals, business owners, farmers, and property developers and investors across commercial, agricultural and property law. Its website lists sales and purchases of farms, lifestyle blocks and commercial property, leases, subdivisions, conveyancing, compensation claims, employment contracts, WorkSafe investigations, and relationship property disputes involving company and trust structures. It also takes on projects that run from property development to irrigation. The website says that where it cannot help, it will give the details of who to contact.
The website says Jo grew up on a North Canterbury farm and Claire on a South Canterbury sheep and arable farm, which suits the firm's rural work. Of the 16 other lawyers within a kilometre, the nearest are MDS Law at 0.1 km, Davidson Legal at 0.2 km, and Ethan Huda Barrister and Patient & Williams, both 0.3 km away. The nearest rated ones sit between 4.4 and 5.0, from 11 to 36 reviews. For farmers and property owners in Canterbury, a central city office that handles farm sales, leases and irrigation projects keeps those matters in one place.
