The New Zealand economy has proven to be more resilient than anticipated, with some sectors already beginning to witness a return to health. The country’s prospects post-election look good, with the rollout of the public-private partnerships set to continue, and the Rugby World Cup giving the economy a lift. The trend of increasing inward investment, particularly in the resources sector, also looks set to continue. The recent abundance of restructuring and insolvency work in the government banking sector has filtered down to smaller, privately owned enterprises. Some law firms have already begun to see an increase in activity in banking and finance and M&A, with new debt gradually being made available.
