We also provide specialist advice and representation in commercial transport and regulatory matters, including:

• Transport Service Licences (TSL) and Goods Service Licences (GSL)
• Inspecting Organisation (IO) approvals and appeals
• Vehicle Inspector (VI) certifications
• Appeals and disputes involving NZTA decisions

Pawson Law has in-depth knowledge of the evidential and procedural requirements in transport prosecutions. David Pawson has been involved in drafting evidential process documentation used by New Zealand Police nationally.

This means we are well placed to identify procedural errors or deficiencies in the prosecution case. Where there are grounds to challenge the charge, we will pursue them rigorously. Where prospects are limited, we provide clear, honest advice and guide you toward the best available outcome.

We do not run hopeless cases—we focus on achieving results.

We have achieved strong outcomes for clients, including:

• Charges withdrawn or dismissed
• Avoiding imprisonment
• Discharge without conviction where appropriate

Director Eleanor Dyche has particular expertise in section 106 applications for discharge without conviction and has achieved a high level of success in this area.

Pawson Law is based in the Bay of Plenty, with offices in Tauranga and Te Puke. We provide specialist transportation law services throughout the Bay of Plenty, Waikato, and wider central North Island.

If you are facing a drink or drug driving charge, or any transport-related issue, early legal advice is critical. Contact Pawson Law to discuss your situation and options.
