About us.

Going beyond a traditional law firm.

Katsui Law (formerly Katsui HR and Advocacy) is a New Zealand law firm specialising in employment law, with overlapping expertise in immigration and civil litigation. While traditional law firm fees can be unpredictable, we provide an alternative by way of fixed fees and payment plans to help make legal advice accessible.

Whether you are an employee in a stressful time at work, or an employer looking to mitigate risk for your organisation, we are here to support you with clear legal advice and flexible fee options.

About Ruth Katsui

Ruth Katsui (BA/LLB Hons) brings her years of experience as an employment lawyer to her new role as Employment Advocate, HR Consultant and Director of Katsui HR and Advocacy. Ruth made the choice to leave her role as a practicing lawyer, to enable her to provide flexibility and reasonable cost solutions for both employers and employees, especially those who may not otherwise have access to justice. Ruth has appeared in court proceedings ranging from the High Court to the Employment Relations Authority and has advised clients from a range of backgrounds. Ruth is bilingual and can provide advice in Japanese and English.

Our fees
