Erika Olsen and Fleur Bell

Erika Olsen

LLB, PGCertChap

With over 26 years of legal practice in New Zealand, I bring expertise and empathy to every client matter. My practice focuses on property sales and purchases, business transactions, family property (pre-nuptial, contracting out agreements, and separation/division of relationship property) and wills and Enduring Powers of Attorney.

Whether you're selling your home, buying a home, selling  or buying a business, navigating family transitions, or planning for your future, I understand that behind every legal document lies a human story. My background includes training in Tikanga Māori (NZQA Level 3 Mātauranga Māori) and experience as a Spiritual and Pastoral Care coordinator, which has honed my ability to listen deeply and understand the needs of my clients.

I've served as a New Zealand Law Society Family Disputes Resolution mediator, Youth Advocate, Lawyer for Child, Lawyer to Assist the Court, and lawyer representing persons under the Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act. These roles have given me invaluable insight into resolving complex situations with both legal precision and human understanding.

My philosophy is simple: empower you to make decisions that align with your values. I believe in helping clients help themselves wherever possible, providing clear guidance while respecting your autonomy and circumstances. You'll find my approach both grounded in solid legal knowledge and responsive to your individual situation.

At Central Law, you'll receive more than just legal advice – you'll gain a trusted advisor who sees the whole picture and works alongside you toward solutions that truly serve your needs.
