Our people
Ranbir Singh Sandhu
Principal
With over 9 years of legal experience in New Zealand, complemented by 15 years of prior experience as a criminal defence attorney in India, he brings an impressive depth of knowledge and experience to his practice. As Principal of the firm, he has extensive expertise across immigration, property, commercial, estate, criminal and litigation law. He regularly handles complex legal matters, advises on sophisticated property transactions, subdivisions and development projects, and navigates challenging legal disputes. His approach is practical, strategic and commercially focused, with a strong preference for resolving disputes through negotiation and alternative dispute resolution rather than heading straight to the courtroom.
He takes great pride in building lasting relationships with clients, understanding their individual circumstances and providing clear, practical and results-driven advice. He is equally passionate about leadership and mentoring, sharing his knowledge and experience with his team and encouraging continuous learning and professional development. He believes that a good lawyer never stops learning – although he occasionally wishes the law would stop changing!
Beyond the office, he is actively involved in the community and serves as a Trustee of the Manurewa Gurdwara.
Outside work, he trades legal briefs for a shotgun and is an avid clay target shooter, having won numerous competitions. Clearly, the ability to stay focused under pressure comes in handy both in the negotiations and on the shooting range! He also enjoys badminton whenever he gets the opportunity, although he is yet to establish whether his competitive streak is more useful on the badminton court or in law!
