Primary Industry
Goodman Tavendale Reid’s reputation as leaders in this field is well known throughout New Zealand, and with good reason. In short, we do much more than just give legal advice. We’ll get under the skin of the transaction and add a dimension that most lawyers can’t. Whether your business is farming, viticulture, fishing or forestry you can be confident that our primary industry experts will pull up their sleeves and pull out all the stops to get the job done.
Our Areas of Expertise include:
- Agri-Corporate
Major restructuring projects, new business acquisitions, complex financing arrangements, commercial agreements - whatever the matter, if it’s agri-business, we’ve got it covered. - Farming
We regularly act in the sale and purchase of farms and lifestyle blocks, high country tenure reviews, complex joint venture and equity partnerships, share milking, supply contract disputes, employment issues and all the other legal stuff you encounter.
- Rural & Commerical Property
Over the years we have acted in a very significant number of rural property transactions, including carrying out due diligence and negotiations on properties and land throughout New Zealand. - Fishing
We can boast of some of New Zealand’s major fishing companies amongst our clients. Our work encompasses advice on compliance matters, ownership and financing structures, charter party agreements, fishing rights and the sale, purchase and leasing of vessels. Our litigation team has a proven track record in representing members of the fishing industry and provide litigation, judicial review and dispute resolution services. - Trust & Estate Planning
Whether you are a private individual or a commercial organisation, we will assist you in succession planning, asset protection, wills, trusts and powers of attorney. - Resource Management
