This list is not exhaustive. Unlike the adviser directory, which covers everyone on the IAA register, there is no register of lawyers doing immigration work. This list is researched from public sources, so a lawyer in Palmerston North may be missing simply because their immigration practice is not identifiable from those sources. Absence here says nothing about a lawyer. Know one who should be listed? Tell us.
