I have experience in many different areas of law, however my focus is commercial law and trust law. I have spent 2 years specifically navigating the new Trusts Act, ensuring our clients are aware of their obligations and tidying up many family trust matters. I really enjoy helping new business owners with their startup businesses, I have a knack for spotting potential issues before they arise and I make sure that our clients have good teams around them to ensure their success.

Client Testimonials

Here’s what some of our clients have to say about working with us.

I have worked with Trish at Best Practice Law and have found her to be helpful and knowledgeable when talking to clients that I have referred to her. Trish’s aim has been to provide our mutual clients with the best advice first so as the client knows not only what they need to do but why as well Trish has then done the legal work required efficiently and effectively. I would recommend Trish as one of Kapiti’s top legal advisers.

We moved our legal affairs to Best Practice Law as they were in Waikanae where we lived. I was immediately on first name terms with all their staff which I felt very comfortable with.

I am so grateful that one of my colleagues recommended Trish Amor-Davy @ Best Law. I will highly recommend Trish and her team because unlike other law firms she is truly caring and compassionate. It is a law firm with a heart which made the whole experience unforgettable when you’re going through some tough times in your life.

C.B.Raumati Beach

For the last 3 years and have enjoyed a consistent level of excellence over all our business transactions. Our legal requirements have been many and varied and we have been provided with multiple options, advice and services to assist our legal decisions. We have felt confident that all possible ideas have been scoped and discussed as we’ve sought professional advice. The communication between Trish’s team and ourselves has exceeded expectations and we now feel we know her staff personally. The best part of the professional service Trish and her staff have provided has been the trusted relationships we have developed with all her people, and these will continue into the future. While we are soon leaving the Horowhenua, we will continue to work with the team at Best Law remotely, through digital communications.

Lucy Montgomery

I was recommended Trish and the Team at best law from a very good friend of mine who said that Trish was a very good lawyer and said that ‘I would not be disappointed’.

I dealt with Trish over two year period as I was going through a situation that was very traumatic for me and my family at that time.

I can’t speak highly enough of Trish and the way she navigated through my situation keeping me calm and level-headed, and also giving me very good advice which I can’t thank her enough for and the outcome that was achieved.

Trish has an amazing array of skills which I found out over the last 2 years. Her ability to read situations left me feeling so looked after and cared about, which has changed my view on lawyers. Trish is one out of the box and if you choose to use her and the team at Best Law you will not be disappointed.
