The Law Association of New Zealand hosts its Annual Property Law Conference on Tuesday 23 February 2027 at its Level 18 rooms in the Vero Centre, Auckland Central, with a parallel livestream. The 12:30-5:00pm programme carries 4 CPD hours across six practitioner-focused sessions.
The Law Association of New Zealand (TLANZ) runs its Annual Property Law Conference 2027 on Tuesday 23 February 2027, 12:30pm to 5:00pm, in person at the association's Level 18 rooms in the Vero Centre, 48 Shortland Street, Auckland Central, with a concurrent livestream offered under a separate registration. The programme carries 4 CPD hours and is chaired by Tony Herring, Partner at Gibson Sheat and TLANZ President.
The six-session programme is squarely practitioner-focused: "Power to the People: Plug-in Solar Panels, Risk and Reward for Bodies Corporate"; "From Signing to Settlement: Practical Lessons for Off-the-Plan Purchasers"; "9/10ths of the Law? Tenants, Occupiers and Squatters"; "Enforcing Leases Against Tenants"; "Caveats, Complications and Completion: Getting a Vendor's Sale Across the Line"; and a debate on "Building Defect Claims: Joint & Several or Proportionate Liability". The speaker line-up draws from property-specialist firms and the bench, including Thomas Gibbons (Thomas Gibbons Law), Joanna Pidgeon (Pidgeon Judd), Kate Chivers (Turner Hopkins), Helen Chung (Lane Neave), Tina Hwang (Queen City Law), James McMillan (Dentons), Sarah Zellman (Grimshaw & Co), John Morrison (Heaneys), barrister and mediator Dave Barr, and Rex Woodhouse, Deputy Principal Tenancy Adjudicator at the Ministry of Justice.
The Law Association of New Zealand, formerly the Auckland District Law Society (ADLS), is a long-standing professional association for lawyers offering CPD, events, member resources, legal forms, a bookstore and LawNews. Property law is a core strand of its work: its Property Law Committee, convened by Joanna Pidgeon, is described by the association as influential in the development of property law and practice, working with stakeholders such as LINZ, REINZ, Auckland Council, the courts, banks and the Tenancy Tribunal, and making law-reform submissions on matters from residential tenancies and retirement villages to LIMs and building law. The annual conference sits within a broader TLANZ property calendar that also includes a Property Disputes Conference and a Strata Unit Titles Conference.
The conference is aimed at property and conveyancing lawyers and those in adjacent practice areas. TLANZ tags the event across Property, Company/Commercial, Bank/Finance, Lending, Civil Litigation, Insurance, Resource Management, Selling Real Estate and in-house counsel, reflecting an afternoon pitched at both specialist property practitioners and generalists who touch property transactions, leasing and disputes. The dual in-person and livestream format opens the programme to practitioners outside Auckland.
The conference is held in TLANZ's own premises on Level 18 of the Vero Centre at 48 Shortland Street, a landmark office tower in the Auckland CBD close to the Britomart transport interchange, the waterfront and the central business and legal district. The location is well served by Auckland's downtown bus, train and ferry networks, and sits roughly a 20 to 30 minute drive from Auckland Airport depending on traffic, with a dense supply of CBD hotels within walking distance for those travelling in. For attendees who cannot reach Auckland, the parallel livestream removes the need to travel at all.
As a recurring, professionally convened association conference with a named chair, a structured six-session programme and a roster of specialist speakers, the Annual Property Law Conference is a representative example of New Zealand's association and professional-development events market. It demonstrates the CBD-venue, half-day, hybrid in-person-plus-livestream format that characterises much of the legal and professional CPD sector in Auckland, anchoring repeat business-events activity in the city centre.
