ABOUT US

Big-deal expertise, delivered personally

We are the advisors behind some of New Zealand’s most significant real estate, corporate and M&A transactions. By focusing on our core strengths we deliver advice that is decisive, commercial and trusted by leading businesses and investors.

— WHO WE ARE

A tight-knit team of leading legal minds

Our partners are among the most experienced in their fields, with decades spent leading major transactions for national and international clients. Together with a talented team of associates and solicitors, we bring the depth of a top-tier practice in a close, collaborative environment.

— WHAT WE DO

We cut complexity down to size

We advise businesses, investors, boards and developers on the decisions and projects that are critical to their success. From major transactions to everyday contracts, our role is to provide clarity, cut through complexity and keep momentum.

— HOW WE’RE DIFFERENT

Direct insight from the people who know your business

This isn’t a big-firm model where advice is filtered through layers of hierarchy. Clients work directly with senior partners who know their business inside out and remain closely involved from start to finish. It’s top-tier capability, delivered with the focus and accessibility of a boutique firm.

— LEADERSHIP

Among New Zealand’s most experienced advisers

Our partners have decades of front-line experience on major corporate and property transactions. They bring judgment shaped by some of the country’s most complex deals and developments, ensuring clients benefit from insight that only comes with time, scale and repeated success.

— CAREERS

Grow your career where every role counts

We’re always looking for smart, driven people — lawyers and business support — who want to work on some of New Zealand’s most significant deals. At Burton Partners, you’ll be part of a collaborative, close-knit team where your work has an impact from day one. Confidentiality is assured for all enquiries.
