We wanted to start a new business in Hamilton. We did our research and then started to obtain the correct consents from the City Council. During this process we found out that the council had, we believed, mistakenly defined our company as a retail business. We employed the services of James Carter Law.

Jim listened to our situation very carefully and put a human face to the matter of problem solving. He was very thorough and thoughtful in his questioning and considerate in manner. Jim always outlined the situation honestly and gave us a realistic read on the matter and did not just provide the answer that he thought we wanted to hear. Jim’s efforts on our behalf were successful and with minimal intervention Jim was able to ensure the facts of our business were reconsidered by the council.

The result saved us many thousands of dollars; provided a better definition of our business venture for the council and solved our problem in a cost efficient manner. We are very grateful to Jim for his professional services. We would strongly recommend James Carter Law to any business or individuals who find themselves having to manoeuvre in the complex area of City Council regulations.
