1Our business law partners bring big firm expertise, service and systems while providing just the right level of partner involvement, not just occasionally but continuously.
We advise corporate clients on both their day-to-day legal issues and small to medium-sized transactions. We are able to provide cost-effective advice on day-to-day legal issues because we are specialists in commercial law, unlike the transactional specialists in many larger firms.
We also have strong expertise in mergers and acquisitions. Our team has significant experience in a wide variety of transactions for both New Zealand and international clients. For corporates looking to enter into small or medium-sized transactions we offer a partner led service and value, not armies of people.
Our corporate clients include subsidiaries of NZX listed companies, private equity-owned companies and local subsidiaries of multi-national companies. They operate in a range of sectors including manufacturing and processing, food and beverage, importing, exporting, foreign exchange/service provision, retailing and franchising.
