Corporate and commercial law
Achieving successful commercial objectives involves collaborating with lawyers who understand your business, your commercial environment and your expectations for the future. Your lawyer should act as your business partner, offering advice to help you make better business decisions.
This requires people who can explain complex situations in plain English, provide dependable and accurate information, anticipate and manage risks, and develop solutions to get you a profitable outcome.
What you can or cannot do with your land, business, home or resources is governed by resource management law. If you want to change the purpose of land, buildings or resources, you will probably need resource consent.
There are many scenarios where resource management comes into play. It is a complex aspect of law which requires timely, accurate advice and advocacy. We offer specialist resource management and local government advice and advocacy.
