New Zealand

Renowned for its ease of doing business and a legal system based on English common law.

Why New Zealand?

On multiple occasions, New Zealand has been ranked by the World Bank as the number one country when it comes to ease of doing business. Its market-oriented economy, robust legal framework, wide network of international tax treaties and active government support for investment help create a stable business environment. 

New Zealand is also attractive when it comes to establishing wealth planning structures. Its trust law is modelled on UK trust legislation and is compliant with international standards on transparency. 

As part of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, it is very much a gateway to Asia for both business and private clients. 

Our team has an extensive understanding of the benefits New Zealand can deliver, as well as considerable experience working with clients across Europe, Asia and the Americas.
