The Documents and Precedents Committee was established in response to the profession’s need for reliable and universally accepted legal forms. The Committee has an unparalleled record of producing high quality standard legal forms and precedents, including the prestigious Agreement for Sale and Purchase of Real Estate and the Commercial Deed of Lease.
The Committee’s continued success lies in attracting specialist lawyers from a range of property and commercial disciplines who have a passion for the role of the forms, the provision of high quality and accurate drafting advice, and who enjoy finding practical solutions for lawyers in light of constant developments in legislation and practice.
The Committee, and its sub-committees, work on a range of documents and forms for the New Zealand legal market. The Committee ensures that these forms are cutting-edge and meet the needs of the current property and commercial markets.
The Committee ensures that TLANZ’ legal forms are up-to-date, are revised as needed to take account of legislative changes and the impact of case law and that the suite of forms is grown and developed to increase the range of documents and precedents currently offered by The Law Association.
The Committee is always interested to hear from practitioners with proposals for other forms required in the market and you are welcome to contact the Committee Executive, Jenna Tau, by email [email protected] with any comments and suggestions.
