Duncan Cotterill: New Zealand

Overview

Established in 1857, Duncan Cotterill is one of the longest established law firms in New Zealand and has grown to become one of the leading law firms in New Zealand. We are a full-service national law firm with 5 offices across New Zealand in Auckland, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch and Queenstown.

Our clients operate regionally, nationally and internationally. They include state and public sector organisations, listed and mid-cap companies, insurers, banks, professional service firms and a large number of small and medium businesses. We advise them on doing business across all of New Zealand’s major sectors, including agribusiness, construction, manufacturing, education, government, insurance, retail, hotel, tourism, technology and professional services. The thing they share in common is their desire to work with lawyers who do more than just state the law: lawyers who operate as highly-valued business advisers.

Our clients value our global outlook and strong international connections. Our national spread of offices gives us a robust local network across New Zealand. We maintain strong connections to professional services providers, business people, industry groups and government across the country.

We provide tailored commercial advice to clients doing business in New Zealand’s largest sectors. We have specialist teams working in corporate and commercial, property, technology, construction and infrastructure, energy, tax, employment, health and safety, immigration, environment, intellectual property, litigation, and dispute resolution. We act extensively for multinationals, foreign investors and high net-worth individuals on the New Zealand aspects of international investments, cross-border mergers, joint ventures and acquisitions. We also advise international clients on disputes and wider commercial legal advice.
