Wills month is nearly over, but planning ahead is always one of the best gifts you can give your family.

A Will provides certainty about your wishes and helps make a difficult time easier for those you leave behind.

Through our support of the Te Awa Community Foundation, we also regularly see the impact that thoughtful giving can have in our community. For some people, a gift in their Will is a way to continue supporting causes they care about long into the future.

Whether you're updating an existing Will or putting one in place for the first time, now is a great time to start the conversation.

Plan ahead today. Make a difference tomorrow.

🏌️‍♀️🏆 What an incredible weekend for Team CR Law at the Devil’s Own Golf Tournament! 🏆🏌️‍♂️

A huge congratulations to Kirsten for making history by becoming the first woman to win the Devil’s Own twice! 🎉 Winning once is an outstanding achievement, but winning it twice is a true reflection of her dedication and exceptional talent on the golf course.

From a near hole-in-one on the 11th to a clutch putt on the 15th, Kirsten's performance throughout the tournament was nothing short of inspiring. We couldn’t be prouder to have her representing CR Law.

Adding to the special occasion, the trophy remains in CR Law hands, with last year's winner Connor having the honour of presenting it to Kirsten this year. 🏆

A big congratulations also goes to James, who secured the "They Have No Time To Stand" Plate Division title after winning his matchplay.

We’re incredibly proud of our team and the way they represented CR Law both on and off the course. Please join us in congratulating Kirsten, James, and Connor on their fantastic achievements! 👏💛
