Wednesday 19 September, 2018

Tompkins Wake has been shortlisted for three awards at the 2018 New Zealand Law Awards, recognising the firm’s continued excellence and reputation.

The firm has been nominated for mid-size law firm of the year (firms with 6-23 partners), for mid-market deal of the year for the $67million sale of BBC Technologies to Norwegian-based TOMRA, and for employer of choice (51-100 lawyers).

Tompkins Wake chief executive Jon Calder said the firm was honoured to be recognised by the New Zealand Law Awards as a finalist and as one of New Zealand’s leading law firms.

Founded in 1922, Tompkins Wake is a leading commercial law firm providing legal services to clients across New Zealand from its offices in Auckland, Hamilton and Rotorua, with further expansion soon to be announced.

“Over the past decade we have continued to grow and invest in building a team of exceptionally talent people focused on specialisation and expertise,” Calder said.

“At a time when our industry has been in turmoil in terms of its culture, we’re especially proud to have been nominated in the employer of choice category.

“We pride ourselves on providing a workplace where our team feels valued, safe and supported, and their achievements celebrated.”

Calder said Tompkins Wake works to ensure the firm delivers exceptional service and outcomes for clients.

“We are delighted that the quality of our work, our client service and the excellence we deliver in solving our clients complex and sophisticated problems has been recognised with these nominations.”

Now in its 14th consecutive year, the New Zealand Law Awards celebrate excellence in the legal industry, recognising outstanding firms, lawyers and in-house teams for their achievements over the past 12 months, as well as the landmark deals that have shaped the business landscape.

Winners of the 2018 New Zealand Law Awards will be announced at an awards ceremony on November 15 in Auckland.
