Minter Ellison Rudd Watts NewsTop ALB Ranking in Media & Telecommunications Law 4 August 2009
In Australasian Legal Business (ALB) Magazine's latest Media & Telecommunications Law Guide, Minter Ellison Rudd Watts is listed as a ‘Leading Firm’ in the New Zealand market.
Minter Ellison Rudd Watt's expert partners were highlighted with John McCay “chosen for his long standing relationships and ability to produce the goods. Clients just seemed to stick by him no matter what, whether it was for sub contracts or for comprehensive IT contracts. Graeme Crombie was the IT specialist who was timely, competent and knew the industry well. Andy Matthews had an exceptional knowledge of legal issues, understood economic elements, had a good network of contacts, provided good service, and was well-versed in the field. Richard Wells was often chosen for media and telco.” It was noted that New Zealand firms have been busily preparing for the John Key government's proposed fibre initiative. The move will see the fibre optic cable supplied to 75% of New Zealand residents at a cost of about NZ$1.5bn in a public-private partnership model. You may be interested to read more about this in our April update.
Also of interest was that the report expected lawyers specialising in technology, media & telecommunications (TMT) and in M&A, IT, planning, PPPs, banking & finance and tax to be busier for the next 12 month period.
