Webb Henderson is a specialist Trans-Tasman law firm.
In New Zealand, it is recognised as a premium Corporate, M&A, Infrastructure, Competition, Regulatory and TMT team.
The firm's people are leaders in their field and their client base is discerning.
The corporate team works for leading corporates, private equity sponsors, private business owners and financial investors on their most important corporate transactions and strategic projects. Almost all the firm's work is undertaken with, or opposite, the large New Zealand and Australian firms.
The ongoing growth and success of Webb Henderson is testament to the quality of these clients and the transactions they choose to engage the firm on. Numerous New Zealand Law awards further validate this, including most recently; Boutique Law Firm of the Year 2023, M&A Deal of the Year 2023, Debt Market Deal of the Year 2023 and the firm's leaders are regularly awarded or nominated as New Zealand dealmakers of the year.
That said, it is Webb Henderson's approach to working with people which differentiates them from other top-tier firms. They care deeply about the people they work with – both clients and team - and this engenders the highest degree of trust and confidence.
Webb Henderson's partners invest time in building client relationships to understand their objectives and what is important to them. Likewise, the partners work closely with their lawyers and frequently talk openly, to understand individual strengths, interests, potential and what is important to them.
This care extends to the wider legal industry and environment. For example, Webb Henderson participates in the TupuToa internship programme for Maori and Pacific law students and is a B Corp certified organisation, confirming the firm meets the highest standards of social and environmental impact, balancing purpose and profit.
Intentional and genuine care for clients, team, industry and environment is a defining value and differentiator of Webb Henderson.
If you are a high performing 3 - 6 year corporate / M&A lawyer wanting to work with sophisticated clients on their most important strategic projects and corporate transactions, while working in an environment which combines the highest performance with the highest degree of care, then Webb Henderson would like to hear from you.
If you have different experience, which you think could be equally valuable to the firm, then the partners would also welcome hearing from you. The firm is actively committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive team and recruits on shared values, professional merit and personal potential.
You may be overseas at present, or not wanting to change roles until 2025. That is no problem. Webb Henderson would enjoy having an initial, exploratory conversation with you, which can be continued at a mutually convenient time.
