Harkness Henry proudly celebrates 150 years of serving the Hamilton community. Our firm’s history is deeply intertwined with the growth of the city’s legal profession, tracing back to the earliest solicitors who laid the foundation for modern legal practice in the Waikato region.
Parallel to these developments, Mr William Tudhope established his own practice in 1907.
In 1928, he admitted Mr Gerald G. Briggs as a partner, forming Tudhope & Briggs.
Upon Mr Tudhope’s retirement, Mr Briggs partnered briefly with Mr P. D. Chatwin, forming Briggs Chatwin, before Mr Chatwin left to establish his own practice.
Following Mr Briggs’ passing in 1964, his practice was acquired by Harkness Henry & Annan, merging his legacy into what is now Harkness Henry.
Our future…
Stay tuned to see what we have instore… Exciting projects are in the works!
