About Meredith Connell

We listen.
We act.
We get results.

What really makes MC different to any top law firm is our people and our attitude. You won’t find floors of big egos. Just an expert team that wants to do right for every client, who are keen to listen to your needs, and then work out the best way to apply the law to help you achieve your goals. As the headline says: We don’t just talk. First we listen. Then we act. And then we get results.

Our commitment to Te Ao Māori

We are on a journey to better understand and practice Te Reo Māori me ōna Tikanga. We partner with Kaupare Consultancy to deliver a professional development programme, which is offered to all staff to improve our knowledge and skills in relation to Te Reo Māori and Te Ao Māori.

 

100 years of

people-first

For 100 years, our people have made us New Zealand’s most experienced and successful litigation firm. And in more recent times, we have evolved into one of the country’s most capable full service commercial law firms, working across more than 23 practice areas.

Our current team of over 240 support our clients on some of New Zealand’s largest, most complex and highest profile commercial and constitutional transactions and litigations, right through to the most personal employment or insurance matters.

Whatever you or your business needs, we have the people to help.

History is our

proof

As Crown Solicitors, we have prosecuted almost every serious crime before the courts in Auckland for the past 100 years. It’s safe to say no other law firm in New Zealand can demonstrate quite the same history of integrity, experience and success.

Sir Vincent Meredith was appointed Auckland’s first Crown Solicitor in 1921, followed by Robert Meredith, Sir Graham Speight, David Morris, Simon Moore and Brian Dickey.  In 2023, Alysha McClintock became Crown Solicitor, creating an unbroken lineage that extends beyond our 100th year.
