Glenie Legal: Commercial Litigation & Regulatory Law Specialists

GLegal is a specialist litigation firm based in Auckland, New Zealand, that acts as solicitors and advocates in relation to all types of commercial disputes. The firm has particular experience in competition and regulatory law, public law, property and construction matters, providing comprehensive legal services to clients facing complex commercial challenges.

The firm understands that disputes are usually expensive, distracting and unwelcome, working with clients from the moment that a disagreement first emerges to help them achieve the best possible outcome as quickly and efficiently as possible. This may involve assisting with negotiation, mediation, or arbitration processes. When cases need to be pursued through litigation, GLegal can argue them as counsel at all levels of the court system up to and including the Supreme Court.

GLegal has particular expertise in dealing with matters arising under New Zealand's major regulatory statutes, including advising on issues, seeking authorisations and approvals, dealing with enforcement investigations by regulatory agencies such as the Commerce Commission, the Financial Markets Authority, the Serious Fraud Office, or the Ministry of Primary Industries. The firm also assists with court proceedings alleging breach of regulatory statutes. Unlike many commercial litigators, GLegal has special skill and experience in dealing with public law issues, getting involved in law reform processes and challenging decisions by government and local authorities through judicial review and other forms of court proceedings.
