The New Zealand economy is built on entrepreneurial New Zealanders starting businesses – our team of lawyers can help your new business be a success by guiding you through New Zealand business law. Business law can be complex, so we focus on helping you understand the important parts for you, your business, your industry, and your business' stage of development so that you can be empowered to make the right decisions.
From advice on the best structure for your business through to organising your company incorporation, our team can help you understand the required licences and consents required to run your particular business – and what laws you need to abide by. We can help you understand your legal obligations and liabilities as a business owner, and how to best protect your investment and other assets.
As contract law experts, we can help you set up all the required documentation you need – terms of trade and credit application forms, shareholder agreements & company constitutions, etc.
We have a solid and practical understanding of business law, and can advise when you need more specialist advice or assistance from our commercial leasing law, employment law and debt collection teams.
Our lawyers work with new businesses every day, helping them to grow and succeed. We focus on being a valuable partner in your business’ growth and development – and believe we’re succeeding when you’re succeeding.
