Foreign Investment / OIO

Expert advice from our Asian and French-speaking teams

Investing, buying property, or dealing with a legal issue is complicated – especially for people based offshore or those with English as a second language. Our Asian and French-speaking teams are here to help, offering legal advice, support and tailored services.

Both teams include lawyers from all our areas of expertise – Real Estate and Investment, Commercial Law, Trusts and Estates and Litigation – ensuring you get high-quality service, whatever the issue.

Our Asian Investment team includes Mandarin and Cantonese speakers, while our French team has fluent French speakers.

Experience, expertise and global reach

Through our membership in Meritas, a global network of law firms, we’re affiliated with 17 Asia-based law offices and 180 firms worldwide. This helps us provide services and support to clients across Asia and the rest of the world.

In everything we do, in New Zealand or elsewhere, we focus on strategic, practical solutions.
