Berry Simons has Environmental Law in its DNA.
The fact that we practise almost exclusively in Resource Management and Environmental law (alongside some local government and liquor licensing advice), means we can provide the resources and the intellectual horsepower that easily match the equivalent team in larger firms. Indeed, a key focus of Berry Simons is to provide clients with a high degree of confidence that we will succeed while enjoying the benefits of our boutique offering. So, don’t think that you need to go to a larger firm to achieve successful results on major matters that we routinely deliver.
We take pride in being ‘commercial’, pragmatic and easy to work with — taking care to maintain close working relationships with our clients. Key decisions are made by senior client managers, partners and key advisors throughout your project - seated at the same table, physically or virtually.
We have proven time and time again our ability to deliver on large, complex and time-bound projects.
