Buddle Findlay's super city team

Our local government clients are required to operate and demonstrate accountability in a complex political, financial and regulatory environment.  The successful performance of core functions requires the support of legal advisers with an excellent understanding of that environment, as well as superior technical legal skills.

Our super city team has the depth and breadth of experience required to assist with all legal issues associated with the creation of the Auckland Council and the integration of the 8 existing local authorities.
