Civil litigation results

Expertise

The expertise, depth and skill of our team enables us to take on and manage a busy litigation caseload. We have handled some of the largest civil cases through the New Zealand Courts over the last ten years. These cases have been against generally well resourced parties represented by the major national law firms, specialist boutiques and often by senior counsel.
We have well developed systems and resources to take on any commercial dispute and have particular expertise
in the following:

Insurance

Our team has extensive experience in all aspects of insurance litigation.

For over 20 years we have acted for insurers, brokers and claim handlers throughout New Zealand and overseas.

Construction

We are well known for our expertise in construction litigation, which forms a significant part of our practice.

We have acted for most parties involved in the construction industry including building owners, developers, building contractors and subcontractors, material manufacturers and suppliers, engineers, designers, project managers and others.

We have achieved excellent results across many multi-unit and stand alone leaky building claims for body corporates, commercial property and individual home owners.
