At Minter Ellison Rudd Watts, we have a specialised national tax team of three partners - David Patterson, Andrew Ryan and John Peterson - supported by eight tax specialists based in Wellington and Auckland. The team works as an integrated part of the corporate team, which means that our clients receive the best legal and commercial advice considering all the tax implications of different options.

 

We have significant experience in cross-border mergers and acquisitions and structured finance transactions. Our team has also been assisting major companies with trans-Tasman operations to ensure they maximise the benefits of the triangular tax reform. 

 

Our partners have worked in Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom and use this experience to benefit clients. 

Our tax team is widely recognised in New Zealand.  Two of our tax partners have been recently recommended in the 2008/09 edition of PLC Which lawyer.  To review the article click here.
