Pathways
Every immigration journey begins with a conversation. In this conversation we talk about where you are now and where you want to get to.
To understand your individual circumstances and requirements, we discuss your timeline and the special challenges your journey presents. We do not categorise people into visa boxes, and that is why you will not find detailed information about the many different visa types on our website.
Instead, we plan your immigration journey taking into account your personal needs and goals, and by taking the path which is in your best interests to safely reach your journey’s end.
Pathways® have some of the most capable and highly respected immigration consultants in the industry. Since 1992 we have partnered and guided more than 20,000 people from over 125 different countries to achieve their New Zealand dream.
Our advisers have industry-leading expertise, and the professional commitment and personal determination, to identify the best immigration solutions and pathways for our clients’. Immigration work can be challenging but at Pathways® we love what we do and are always up for the challenge. We are especially privileged that our work additionally rewards us with so many life-long friends.
We always prefer to talk directly with our clients, whether in person, by phone or via new-age video calls, as this allows us both to personally get to know each other much better and quicker than through forms and email communications.
Immigration journeys have life-changing consequences, and helping someone achieve their dream is what gets us out of bed in the morning. Our client’s success is our success.

Rainey Collins Lawyers
This three partner, eleven lawyer firm is organised into three broad teams supervised by the partners. Business, Property & Personal Legal Services (Claire Tyler), Māori Legal Issues (Peter Johnston) and Dispute Resolution & Litigation (Shaun Cousins).
The origins of Rainey Collins can be traced to 1919 when Mr R. Collins commenced practice. He took Mr W. Rainey into partnership shortly thereafter. Since those times the firm has undergone three mergers and its name has changed to accommodate these developments and the appointment of partners to the High Court Bench. In 1957 Mr McCarthy (later Sir Thaddeus McCarthy, President of the Court of Appeal) was appointed to the then Supreme Court.
The name was changed in 1961 to Rainey Collins Armour and Boock when Mr W. Leicester followed Mr McCarthy onto the bench. In 1986 the firm merged to become Rainey Collins & Olphert and in 1991 the practice merged with Wright & Co of Auckland.
The name was changed to Rainey Collins in 2003.
