As New Zealand’s leading national team of employment law specialists, we help our clients develop and maintain high-performing workforces, and adapt to new requirements.
We have a reputation for quality strategic advice that is robust and pragmatic. Our team’s significant depth and experience enables us to resource matters efficiently and seamlessly.
We are skilled in all areas of employment law from day-to-day to more complex matters. We have expertise in issues which are becoming prominent, including culture reviews, investigations and collective bargaining. Our team regularly advise boards on emerging areas of risk as part of their ESG and governance considerations.
Our success before the Employment Relations Authority and courts is widely acknowledged. We also have extensive experience in mediations, enabling us to assist clients to resolve their employment relationship problems quickly and effectively.
Our expert advice is called on by many of New Zealand's top organisations in both the private and public sector. For example, we act for New Zealand’s largest government department (Ministry of Social Development), the largest tertiary organisation (University of Auckland), a number of large local authorities (including Auckland Council and Tauranga City Council), and many major New Zealand corporates (such as Fonterra, BP Oil and major banks).
We are independently recognised by key international directories as leaders in our field.
