New Zealand Member of Meritas
If you need commercial legal advice outside New Zealand, Martelli McKegg can introduce you to experienced lawyers in over 96 countries.
Our firm is the New Zealand member of Meritas - a global alliance of over 170 independent, full-service business law firms with more than 8,500 experienced lawyers.
Wherever your legal need exists, we can introduce you to a Meritas firm that understands the local business climate, legal system and social customs.
The Australasian Meritas member firms have assisted in creating two helpful legal guides:
Legal Guide for Business Investment and Expansion - New Zealand
Legal Guide for Business Investment and Expansion - Australia
Assurance of quality service
To become a Meritas firm, we had to pass a rigorous 10-step selection process. To maintain our membership, we must participate in an ongoing re-certification programme and regular client satisfaction evaluations.
Our global affiliates must meet the same high standards. So when you use a Meritas law firm, you can be sure of receiving first-class service and expert legal advice.
Representation within Meritas
Melissa Higham and Mike Worsnop currently serve as members of the Australasian Regional Management Committee of the Meritas Law Firm Network.

Meritas Exchange Programme
The Meritas group of law firms has recommenced its lawyer exchange programme. It's an excellent way for lawyers from single office firms to gain valuable experience in different jurisdictions. Martelli McKegg was in the pilot group back in 2019 and after a hiatus due to the Covid pandemic the firm was delighted to participate in further exchanges in 2023 and again this year.
