With a team that is ‘very experienced in resource management’, Dentons New Zealand is at home advising on the reform of New Zealand’s resource management system. It is also well-placed to advise on all issues arising through a project’s lifecycle, including on finance, corporate, and property issues. The firm’s construction specialisation is of particular note, as is its energy expertise. The team is led by three partners: specialist construction lawyer Paul Buetow, environment and planning expert Nicky McIndoe, and resource management advisor Christina Sheard. Ezekiel Hudspith focuses on energy and natural resources.
