About Hayden Smith

Hayden helps business owners, investors and directors make big decisions with confidence. His focus is on mergers & acquisitions, joint ventures, capital raising and investment structuring, alongside the day-to-day contracts that keep businesses running.

Clients like working with Hayden because he’s pragmatic and straight to the point. With experience spanning healthcare, transport, technology, retail and more — and a stint offshore working on international transactions — Hayden brings broad perspective as well as deep technical skill. For many of his clients, he’s not just a lawyer but a trusted sounding board on strategy and growth.

Outside of work, Hayden’s world revolves around his three daughters. When he’s not with family, you’ll find him at the North Shore Cricket Club where he’s chairman, running a charitable trust building new sports facilities, or cheering on his favourite teams from the sidelines.
