Simpson Grierson has been recognised in the Legal 500 Asia Pacific 2026 directory, with 15 practice areas ranked and 41 of our lawyers individually acknowledged.

Legal 500 is a well-established and widely regarded international legal directory, known for its independent and in-depth research into law firms and lawyers across key markets. Its Asia Pacific rankings reflect assessments of legal capability, market standing, and client feedback across the region.

This year’s results include a number of new individual rankings, reflecting the continued development of our people and the breadth of experience across the firm. The recognition provides an opportunity to reflect on the range and complexity of matters our teams have worked on over the past year, and the outcomes achieved for clients across key sectors and industries.

Our rankings across multiple practice areas highlight the collective strength of the firm. They recognise not only individual expertise, but also the way our teams work together to deliver clear, practical and commercially focused advice on matters that are often complex, time-sensitive or strategically significant.

The Legal 500 Asia Pacific 2026 results offer an independent reference point for clients seeking advisers with proven capability in the New Zealand market, supported by depth across practice areas and experience at all levels of the firm.
