Corporate &
Commercial.

Strategic legal partnership for ambitious organisations.

From startups to corporates, we help businesses make confident decisions that drive growth and manage risk. Whether launching a new venture, scaling operations, or navigating a complex transaction, our Corporate & Commercial team delivers clear, focused advice that supports business momentum and reduces risk.

We work across the full spectrum of commercial activity, including business formation, mergers and acquisitions, company arrangements, commercial contracts, intellectual property (IP), banking and finance, governance, and consumer law. Our approach is pragmatic and tailored – combining senior-level expertise with agile, cost-effective service.

For international companies investing or operating in New Zealand, we provide seamless guidance through our dedicated Foreign Investment services, helping clients navigate local regulations and establish a strong commercial presence, including providing guidance through Overseas Investment Office consents and cross-border complexities.

We bring specialist expertise to key areas that underpin commercial success. We advise on governance structures that support effective decision-making and long-term resilience, working closely with boards and executives to ensure frameworks are practical, compliant, and fit for purpose.

Our consumer law and advertising capability helps businesses engage confidently with customers – ensuring promotions, campaigns, and communications are legally sound and aligned with brand values. With our IP experience, we help businesses identify, protect, and maximise the value of their IP – whether through brand protection, licensing arrangements, or negotiating IP terms in broader commercial transactions. We also provide expert legal privacy advice tailored to your business needs, helping you navigate privacy law, and supporting you to build robust compliance strategies.
