Law for Lunch this November!

Throughout November we’re hosting a series of informal legal sessions with lawyers from Community Law Wellington & Hutt Valley, who will share their knowledge and legal know-how, providing accurate information and practical advice on a range of topics. You’ll learn the in’s and out’s on a variety of common legal problems and the step-by-step solutions to undertake. Receive straightforward, actionable advice from lawyers who double as community workers, who can cut through the legal jargon.

Join us for the weekly Law for Lunch information sessions, every Tuesday from 12-12:45pm at Te Awe Library.
