Banking and Finance

We work with banks, finance companies, businesses, and high-net-worth individuals on all kinds of banking and finance transactions.

What we do

We've acted for first and subsequent secured lenders as well as borrowers, which means we understand every side of a deal. That perspective helps us give our clients clear, commercial advice on their funding options and how to get the best outcome.

We regularly act for iwi, government departments and Crown agencies, putting us in a unique position to advise our clients in relation to their regulatory obligations.

And we're also trusted advisers to three major retail banks (ASB, BNZ and Kiwibank) and work closely with banks and other financiers every day, giving us valuable insight into market trends and what they mean for our clients.

We can help with:

  • acquisition, development and investment property financing – including loan, security, guarantee and intercreditor documentation
  • specific lending needs across different sectors – including organisation, asset and transaction borrowing
  • all areas of property, business and corporate lending – including syndicate and mezzanine finance
