Established in 1986 by Grant Cameron, GCA Lawyers (formerly Grant Cameron Associates) is a nationally recognised legal boutique in Christchurch. Its reputation is founded upon results achieved, often in the most difficult of circumstances. Such outcomes are attributable to the blended application of strategic, legal and innovation skills.

Although a lawyer’s fundamental contributions to the client relationship are competence, integrity and sound judgment, GCA Lawyers believes more is required in a world of accelerating change. In applying an innovative perspective to client needs, the firm consistently delivers desired results and value.

The Christchurch firm has a solid track record of ‘thinking outside the square’ and of producing results where others couldn’t.
