Parry Field Lawyers are New Zealand’s leading law firm supporting purpose-led and mission focused organisations that range from charities to companies, entrepreneurs, and impact investors, as well as those with hybrid structures that combine approaches. Our Impact Team works across the country providing free training, resources, articles, and videos to empower the ‘for-purpose’ sector.

Charities are in many ways the backbone of New Zealand, delivering services, providing resources and support that strengthens our communities. We enjoy supporting the great work that charities do, whether that be assisting with setting up a new charity, updating existing charities, supporting with commercial or employment matters of charities, and much more.

We have supported many Incorporated Societies navigating re-registration under the new Incorporated Societies Act 2022 and are available to answer any questions you have. Incorporated Societies have until 5 April 2026 to re-register under the new Act. Our experienced team can help review or draft your constitution and provide guidance on what’s required. Visit our Incorporated Societies Information Hub for articles, templates, and how-to guides.

With almost 100 staff across five offices, Parry Field Lawyers we are well-equipped to support charities and for-purpose organisations with legal set ups, charity questions, governance, property, disputes, employment, IP, and more. Find out more and get in touch at parryfield.com
