About Us

Barry and Lisa Rodgers established Rodgers & Co after Barry spent many years as a partner in one of the largest law practices in Rotorua.

Barry wanted to be able to take better control in providing a more personal, friendly service to the people of the Rotorua and surrounding areas. After a short time Rodgers & Co was set up on Pukaki Street, Rotorua, and has since established an office in Tauranga as well.

It is the quality of service provided by dedicated professionals that has made Rodgers & Co the exceptional company it is today!
