Leading law firm MinterEllisonRuddWatts is pleased to have advised on the strategic transaction that sees Grant Thornton Advisors LLC welcoming Grant Thornton New Zealand to its multinational advisory and tax platform.
The deal marks a significant expansion into the Asia Pacific region for Grant Thornton Advisors, which now spans more than 20 time zones and includes high-performing professional services firms across the US, Europe, and the Middle East. The addition of Grant Thornton New Zealand strengthens the platform’s global capabilities and reach.
“We are proud to have supported Grant Thornton Advisors on this landmark transaction,” said Neil Millar, lead partner at MinterEllisonRuddWatts.
“This deal reflects the growing demand for globally integrated professional services and highlights New Zealand’s strategic importance in the Asia Pacific region. It’s been excellent to work with a client so committed to innovation and growth.”
The MinterEllisonRuddWatts deal team was led by Neil Millar, with support from senior associates Jessica Bremner and Jasmin Matthews, as well as solicitors Oscar England and Rebecca Kimpton. Other team members included June Hardacre and Nicola Whiteman (Employment), Andrew Ryan and Sue Wong (Tax), Lloyd Kavanagh, Claire Brabant, Alexander Schumacher and William Ma (Financial Services), Christopher Young and Rob Penney (IP), Tom Maasland, Abbey James and Thomas Anderson (Commercial) and Andrew Horne and Christopher Headey (Litigation).
The transaction is expected to close later this year and will see Grant Thornton New Zealand continue to operate as part of the Grant Thornton International Limited network, which spans more than 150 markets globally.
