BlackmanSpargo have been our farming partner for over 25 years – even after moving away from South Waikato 21 years ago. Living in Northland and having lawyers in Rotorua has never been an issue. We always feel safe in the professional support and guidance we receive. We recommend BlackmanSpargo as part of any farming operation.

  Terence and Suzanne Brocx

• The best thing about working with Chris and Sandy was that we didn’t need to worry about anything – I didn’t need to ask the right questions or worry about anything getting missed – I knew they had everything covered even the things we hadn’t thought of, or couldn’t be expected to know about! That provided total peace of mind and a relaxing and pleasant way to take care of what is usually a stressful time. I cannot recommend them highly enough for their expertise in these areas, their professionalism and their very friendly and efficient service.
