Our core values at Fixed—affordability, accessibility, expertise and responsiveness—define everything we do.

Fixed is led by Alex Fanning, an experienced family lawyer who has consistently achieved successful results for clients in Tribunals, the Family Court, High Court, and Court of Appeal. Fixed is an online family law firm built on the values of affordability, accessibility, expertise, and responsiveness.

Alex founded Fixed after nearly a decade working in traditional law firms across New Zealand, where he saw how hourly billing often created stress and uncertainty for clients. Determined to provide a better solution, Alex created Fixed to offer a simpler, more transparent approach to family law.

With experience in boutique, mid-tier, and large firms in Dunedin, Wellington, Hamilton, and Hawke’s Bay, Alex has guided clients through a wide range of family law matters, from resolving disputes over relationship property to navigating complex custody arrangements. Known for his practical advice and ability to explain complex legal issues in plain language, Alex ensures his clients feel informed and supported every step of the way.

As an online firm, Fixed provides flexible and accessible legal services wherever you are in New Zealand. With consultations and advice available via video calls, phone, email, or text, we make it easy to get expert advice on your schedule. Our fixed-fee packages mean you’ll know all costs upfront, giving you clarity and peace of mind during what can be a stressful time.

Whatever your family law issues — whether you need help with relationship property division, custody arrangements, spousal maintenance, or something else — Fixed offers expert advice and practical solutions tailored to your needs.
