Meet the Whanganui legal and legal executive team.

Richard Moore established Moore Law Whanganui in 2006 after previously serving as a Partner in a Wellington Law firm before joining a Whanganui Law Practice. Richard’s son Rob soon joined the Law firm as a Partner and Richard’s wife, Dot McKinnon, has worked in the firm for a number of years as a Registered Legal Executive. Helen Hale was welcomed into the Practice in 2011 when her family relocated to Whanganui from Manawatu.

The firm’s expertise is in Commercial, Employment and Property Law, Estate Planning, Trusts and Relationship Property. Rob and Helen collectively have helped at least a thousand Whanganui locals into their first home. Whilst Richard and Rob have worked with more than five hundred companies in the greater Whanganui region, building a solid legal platform to help their businesses succeed.

The riverside offices of Moore Law are housed in a stunning 1899 heritage villa which overlooks the majestic Whanganui River and offers an inviting and relaxed atmosphere for clients and staff members alike. Rob explains “We live by the premise that we offer a relaxed environment focused on the benefit to our clients and the wider community. That includes giving back to the community by offering what we do best which is through our knowledge of the Law. I do some pro bono work around Kiwisaver, I am heavily involved with the Wanganui Squash Club, football, darts and many other groups. I am also on the board of RISE, an organisation that works toward stopping violence and rehabilitating violent offenders. I help by offering legal advice.”

Richard is an Honorary Solicitor for an extensive range of cultural, social, Not-for-Profit and sporting organisations. He is also Chairman of the Wanganui Eye and Medical Care Trust. Dot McKinnon is a high profile personality well-known for her work in the Whanganui community. She joined the Moore Law Team in 2010 after stepping down from 6 years as Deputy Mayor of Whanganui. Dot is the Chair of the Whanganui District Health Board, Chair of the MidCentral District Health Board, is a member of the Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal, and is a Rotarian. Helen belongs to the Whanganui Chamber of Commerce and enjoys promoting the family friendly lifestyle Whanganui has to offer. Helen and her husband have three daughters who keep them busy due to their active involvement in sports and musical interests.
