In 2005, three of New Zealand’s top legal experts in commercial, property and public advisory law joined together to establish Greenwood Roche Chisnall – a response to strong market demand for those specialist services.

We are now one of New Zealand’s largest and most experienced specialist law firms with six partners and a large team of senior lawyers specialising in commercial, commercial property, banking and finance, energy and resources, and public advisory law.

Our partners are experienced in leading legal teams for large and complex commercial projects in both the public and private sectors. Our expertise extends to direct negotiations at the highest commercial and political levels and to assisting New Zealand and international clients to efficiently deliver their required project outcomes.
 

Our focus is on being the leading provider of expert legal services in our speciality areas. To do this our firm has four core values:
 

• To consistently apply leading-edge legal and commercial expertise in an accessible and personable manner.
• To enjoy working for our clients.
• To have a long-term, flexible approach.
• To provide a working environment that brings out the best in our people.

As a project law firm, Greenwood Roche Chisnall advises specifically in commercial, commercial property, banking and finance, energy and resources, and public advisory law.
