Meredith Connell Information

Meredith Connell has the quality of people, the depth of resources and the breadth of expertise you’d expect from any top law firm. But what makes us different – and therefore better - is our attitude. We bring our A (for attitude) to each and every client. We engage with you to understand what you want to do and where you want to go – not which fancy new legal principle we wish to explore. We put ourselves in your shoes and then bring our expert knowledge of the law to help you achieve the result you desire. We look at things differently from other national law firms. For us, it’s always about people. Our people applying their expert knowledge of the law to give clients the advice they need. Today, our team of over 200 advises on some of this New Zealand’s largest, most complex and highest-profile commercial transactions and litigation. Our scale and range of services would amaze our founder, Sir Vincent Meredith, who established the firm in 1922. Over more than 90 years, we’ve established a formidable track record that makes us New Zealand's largest, most experienced and most successful litigation practice. And, building on that heritage, we have evolved into one of this country’s largest and most successful full-service commercial law firms, providing our clients with specialist advice across more than 23 practice areas. The Crown Warrant has played an important role in our firm since Sir Vincent Meredith was appointed Auckland’s first Crown Solicitor in 1922. As Crown Solicitors, we have prosecuted practically every serious crime before the courts in Auckland for the past 90-plus years. It’s safe to say no other law firm in New Zealand can demonstrate quite the same history of integrity, experience and success.
