The only specialist team of our size and scope in New Zealand, we are able to undertake all enforcement activities including banking and finance litigation, corporate insolvency and work outs.

The Securities Enforcement Work Group provides enforcement advice on all aspects of securities (eg. mortgages, guarantees and general security agreements), priority issues, corporate insolvency, banking procedure, liquidations, receiverships, Personal Property Securities Act matters, Credit Contract and Consumer Finance Act issues, the Property Law Act and the Land Transfer Act. They also provides advice and support on restructuring loan facilities and securities.

The group regularly appears in the New Zealand Court of Appeal, the High Court and the District Court and have been involved in a number of leading banking and insolvency cases such as The Building Depot case, The King Robb case, CIR v Edgewater Motel Ltd, and Wilkinson v ASB Bank Ltd.

The mix of our team allows us to handle high volume commodity enforcement work as well as more complex recovery work. It also means that all work is undertaken at the right level, keeping down costs whilst ensuring appropriate supervision. While we are able to provide a strong, hard-nosed litigation approach, we can also adapt to whatever approach the particular file may require.
