Agriculture remains the backbone of the New Zealand economy and is an increasingly complex and fast-moving sector. We provide expert advice and legal services to producers, processors, investors and exporters.
Our rural specialists handle a range of matters from ownership structuring and property sale and purchase (in particular due diligence aspects) to succession planning and employment contracts.
Compliance is a hot topic and we can assist with understanding resource management and environment planning considerations and identifying when specialist advice may be required.
We can also advise on property syndication including shareholder agreements, along with a range of other matters such as grazing agreements, livestock sales, health and safety, and industry regulations.
