Ka eke rā hau ki runga ki Te Ahumairangi, ahu atu rā ki te whitinga o te rā ki Te Tini-a-Māui-Tikitiki-a-Taranga ki a Hikurangi te toka whakairo e tū ake nā!
Tū tonu te ao, wetekina ngā herehere o te pō kia wātea ai te ara-anamata ki te tokorua nei.
Ko Rongomaitahanui, ko Rongomaitaharangi kua roa nei e whakarongorongo ana ki te mano tāngata i hau mai ki ngā pātū o Kāhui Legal,
kia wherawherahia ai, kia whakatewhatewhahia ai ngā tini kaupapa e pā kino nei ki ngā whānau, ngā hapū me ngā iwi o te motu whānui.
Atu i te Murihiku, ki te Muriwhenua kua hikuroa ngā taniwha nei.
Kua whawhai rāua tahi i te whawhai pai.
Kua raupātia o rāua ringaringa i ngā pukahu o nunui, o roroa.
Tēnei te tuku i te tokorua nei, ka tukuna ki ngā pito o te whenua, ki ngā taha-awa, ki te pae rōia-takitahi, me ko Aotahi e takitahi mai nei i te rangi.
Tēnei te whakamihi, tēnei te whakamiha, tēnei ka tāwharauhia kōrua tahi ki ngā kupu o tāukiuki, kia puta ai kōrua ki te whai ao, ki te ao mārama!
Kōkiri!
It is with heavy but proud hearts that we announce the departure of two of our stalwarts and founding partners Matanuku Mahuika and Jamie Ferguson.
There really are insufficient words to describe the incomparable contribution they have both made not just to the firm, but to Te Ao Māori whānui over their careers. They are champions for our people, and they have trailblazed a path of unsurpassed excellence for us all to aspire to.
Jamie will be joining Kōkiri Chambers and Matanuku is joining Bankside Chambers. Tino waimarie koutou ki te whiwhi i te tokorua rangatira nei.
Kāhui Legal will continue to push forward and keep the vision you both created twenty one years ago of providing excellent legal services to our people alive. We wish you both all the absolute best, you leave with our heartfelt thanks and aroha.
