Our Story

Beach Law Papamoa has been providing legal services to both the local Papamoa community and the wider Bay of Plenty community since October 2014.

Having been a key part of the Beach Law Papamoa team since the firm was established, Rochelle Belworthy (now Rochelle Thornton), took over the firm in April 2017. Rochelle spent many hours building a modern and forward-thinking practice aimed at delivering a wide range of services in a relaxed and friendly way. Senior Lawyer Diane Harvey became a Director of the firm in October 2021. Together Rochelle and Diane lead a friendly, approachable team of professionals with many years of legal industry experience between them.

Locals and visitors to the area will be very familiar with our premises situated on Parton Road in Papamoa.
