Our professional tailored approach to service is at the heart of what we do. We are sidestepping the old world
cookie cutter legal approach, we recognise our clients are looking for more. We embrace a personalised, bespoke approach for each and every client we have.

We started our practice because we wanted to create a place where clients didn’t feel like they were meeting people who were speaking another language. We are adapting along the way and are dedicated to ensuring we meet the needs of every person who walks in the door.

Our style is agile, no-nonsense, cost-effective, streamlined while ensuring that we remain adaptable to different lifestyles and communication styles. No need to leave your gumboots at the door.

Walker Murdoch Law was born in Southland in 2005, when two experienced like-minded legal individuals — Cleland Murdoch and Jeff Walker — joined forces to move away from the expensive, stuffy, impersonal, and overall corporate way of doing law. Cheryl Officer, and later Pip Walker Stevens joined the directorship and cemented the modern path for Walker Murdoch Law.
