Property

Our national practice is one of the largest dedicated property and development teams in New Zealand. With partners and teams who operate in all of New Zealand’s key markets of Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown, we are one of New Zealand’s largest and most experienced property law practices.

Our team advises clients in the public and private sectors on a complete range of matters relating to residential, industrial, commercial and rural property, including specialised services in:

• acquisitions and disposals
• the development and subdivision of land, including negotiations and documentation
• design, construct and lease transactions, acting for both landlords and tenants
• developments under the Unit Titles Act 2010
• applications under the Overseas Investments Act 2005
• leasing and occupation rights in relation to conservation land under the Conservation Act 1987.

The team also advises on a diverse range of business transactions including those in the rural sector and offers specialised advice in succession planning for corporate and farming clients.

Where appropriate, we work closely with the firm’s construction and corporate teams or with external consultants to ensure our offering is tailored to client needs and the best possible outcomes are achieved.

At the heart of it all we value most the relationships we nurture and maintain with our clients, understanding that our primary role is to provide pragmatic, correct and clearly understood advice in an efficient, transparent and client-centric manner.  That philosophy and commitment applies to every client and to every job regardless of size and regardless of complexity.
