"Why did we choose Minters? Why not?" asks a client. "They are a high-quality firm with a relatively consistent servicing culture - a culture we liked when we employed them in Australia, and therefore it just made sense to use them in New Zealand as well, and we are really glad that we did." IFLR 1000 (2009)
 
"The lawyers here look after their clients well and are easy to talk to,” enthuse clients, who also commend the team’s high levels of responsiveness. Chambers Global (2009)

It has a good national and international institutional client base and, with the support of a highly recommended tax practice, it is a popular choice for multi-jurisdictional deals. PLC Which lawyer? 2009
