Protecting, managing and using our natural resources is complex — just like the evolving regulatory landscapes that govern them. Successfully navigating environmental and resource management law takes more than legal expertise; it requires strategic insight, collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders, sector expertise and a clear understanding of the optimal end goal.
With extensive experience advising developers and infrastructure providers, councils and other regulators, iwi, businesses and community groups, our team are experts at anticipating challenges, working though regulatory processes and empowering people to make informed decisions. If you’re advancing a project and seeking approvals, needing to achieve regulatory compliance, advocating for community interests or wanting to protect environmental values, get in touch to see how we can support you to get results.
