Our resource management and environmental law specialists are involved in some of the most complex, challenging, and innovative developments in New Zealand.
What differentiates our team is our sheer depth and breadth of expertise and our track record of getting great business outcomes for our clients.
We work alongside professionals such as landscape architects, ecologists, traffic engineers, planners and a whole raft of other experts to ensure our clients are in the best possible position to achieve their goals.
We are recognised by clients and independent bodies as having New Zealand’s leading team of specialists in the resource management and environmental law area. We were awarded the ‘Resource Management and Environment Specialist Practice of the Year’ title at the inaugural New Zealand Law Awards, and again in November 2006.
Our clients say we ‘are competent’, ‘have a real drive to see the job done’, ‘get the outcomes’, have ‘good depth’, and are ‘personable’.
