Simpson Grierson has one of New Zealand's leading litigation and dispute resolution practices.

Our specialists provide strategic advice on risk, and advocate for clients when disputes arise. They deliver successful outcomes in a cost-effective and timely manner, whether through litigation or alternative dispute resolution. They have appeared at all levels of New Zealand’s judicial system, and regularly act in other forums, such as Royal Commissions, specialist tribunals, and arbitration.

Simpson Grierson is particularly recognised for its expertise in complex, large-scale disputes, supported by a specialist litigation project management team. We work across a wide range of areas and sectors. In doing so, we focus on understanding our clients’ businesses and providing pragmatic advice that suits their individual needs.

We are also at the forefront of emerging litigation issues, such as the development of a class action regime, and challenges around climate change.

On foreign law and cross-border issues, Simpson Grierson’s exclusive membership of Lex Mundi provides access to a large network of pre-eminent international firms for market-leading advice.
