We understand you face intense pressure on your time and resources while needing to compete with larger firms. Westlaw New Zealand helps you compete effectively by transforming hours of legal research into minutes. You can ask complex legal questions in plain English and receive a synthesised summary, footnoted to trusted New Zealand primary law – cases and current legislation.

Beyond just finding answers faster, Westlaw New Zealand streamlines your entire research workflow to maximise efficiency. Integrated tools like Outline Builder and Keep List/Hide Details allow you to organise key points, save relevant cases, and build your argument all within one platform, eliminating the need to switch between different applications. By unifying trusted NZ content with powerful AI and workflow tools, Westlaw New Zealand empowers your firm to work faster, reduce rework, and advise clients with a high degree of confidence, giving you a competitive edge.

Pay-per-view provides you with the flexibility to access specific documents that fall outside of your current Westlaw New Zealand subscription. Occasionally, your research may surface a highly relevant case, commentary, or article that is not part of your plan. When this happens, you will be notified and given the option to purchase one-time access to that individual document. This ensures you can always get the exact information you need, when you need it, without having to subscribe to a full practice area you may only use infrequently.
