"The Taranaki Chamber of Commerce has been privileged to have GQ as a Key Partner for a number of years. Over this time we have co-hosted many seminars on specific relevant topics for business.

Having Troy Wano and his team’s expertise and advice in the employment law seminars has been invaluable in helping our businesses and members have a good understanding of employment contracts, new legislation and how to avoid unnecessary difficulties or pitfalls."

Maura Young (Taranaki Chamber of Commerce)

"The combined skills and experiences of the presenters were excellent and tailored to our local Taranaki market, making the information relevant and relatable for attendees. Presenters were engaging and the relaxed Q&A over a drink and some nibbles approach was appreciated & helpful. Well done team on another great event and the incredible mahi in pulling this all together."

"Thanks GQ for providing us with an informative presentation on the new Privacy Act 2020. Our team loved it and said it was a great refresher on privacy law and best practice in this area. We look forward to working with these spirited young lawyers in the future."

"Annie Prosser & Beatrice Chamberlain presented a concise and easy-to-understand overview of Charitable Trust guidelines. It was good to have a clear explanation of the changes to the Trust Act and how they impact on our organisation. Thank you - and thanks for the lovely bite to eat too."
