Minter Ellison Rudd Watts has appointed M&A and capital markets specialist Rodney Craig as a partner in the firm’s Wellington office.

Rodney was previously a partner at Kensington Swan, where he began his career in 1999.

Rodney advises on complex mergers and acquisitions in a range of industries, and assists early-stage and growth businesses with their corporate structures, governance and capital raising. 

In the capital markets field Rodney has acted for listed companies, investors and market participants on takeovers and other significant transactions, as well as compliance with securities markets and takeovers rules and regulations.

In announcing the appointment John McCay, Head of Wellington’s corporate and commercial team, said: "Rodney has an excellent reputation in the market and attracting an established partner of such a high calibre is strong evidence of the strength of the firm."

The Wellington office has also recently welcomed three new senior associates – new recruits Andy Glenie, previously with Russell McVeagh, and Rachael Schmidt-McCleave, from the Crown Law Office, and Catherine Levermore who returns to the firm after working for Clifford Chance and Barlow Lyde & Gilbert in the UK.
