| Raglan Land Company Limited "NSEL are great strategic and commercial operators. They are cost effective, their advice is always correct and they have a fantastic ability to get parties from all sides working towards common solutions. They are very effective at avoiding unnecessary and costly litigation, but achieve results when matters need to proceed to court." David Peacocke, Director of Raglan Land Company For relevant project click on following link to Property Development Hamilton Joint Venture "I am responsible for managing the Hamilton Joint Venture Project on behalf of a number of partners. NSEL's ability to work past potential areas of conflict with other parties and achieve commercially sound and cost effective outcomes has been instrumental in the Hamilton JV's ongoing instructions to the firm. I would have no hesitation in recommending NSEL for any type of development based Resource Management instruction." Andrew Duncan, CEO of Chalmers Properties Limited (CPL) For relevant project click on following link to Property Development Ministry of Education "NSEL bring a very strategic and commercial approach to the acquisition and designation of land for new schools. They provide strong leadership, and their advice is well researched and communicated. A particular strength is that NSEL remain focused on the client's desired outcomes when matters proceed to local authority hearings or the Environment Court. The fact that they value relationships and are an incredibly friendly team is simply icing on the cake." Clive Huggins, Project Manager (Acquisitions and Designations) New Schools, Kura & Network | Property and Infrastructure Group, Ministry of Education For relevant project click on following link to Education Bob Robertson (CEO of Infinity Investments Limited) "I was absolutely dismayed when my resource consents for Foveran and Winterberg Farms were caught up in the 2003 Ministerial call-in. ECAN had not heard my applications by 2009. I engaged NSEL around this time to sort things out. I now have all consents in hand with a set of conditions that will enable the Winterberg to be commercially viable. In a regulatory environment that seems indifferent to the needs of business I really value NSEL's ability to achieve strong commercial outcomes." Bob Robertson, owner of Foveran and Winterberg Farms (CEO of Infinity Investment Group Limited) For relevant project click on following link to Water International Union for Conservation of Nature "NSEL director Robert Makgill joined American lawyers, Cymie Payne and Donald Anton, as legal counsel for the IUCN before the International Law for the Sea Tribunal in Hamburg, Germany, in late 2010. Robert, and his co-counsels', written statement and oral submissions received high praise from international lawyers within the IUCN and other delegates who appeared in Hamburg. I am of the view that their contribution to the Tribunal's ensuing historic Advisory Opinion on deep sea mining was significant." Harlan Cohen, PhD, Advisor on Ocean Governance and International Institutions IUCN Washington For relevant project click on following link to Minerals & Mining Youngson and Associates Limited "We initially approached NSEL to assist Youngson and Associates Limited with environmental due diligence on a number of mineral investment projects in New Zealand. We were extremely impressed by NSEL's knowledge on the mining industry and the directors' ability to identify additional areas in which advice was required from other legal experts. NSEL went the extra mile to identify and brief other legal experts on a range of commercial matters." Sue Attwood, Director of Youngson and Associates Limited For relevant project click on following link to Minerals & Mining A H Construction Services Ltd "Being prosecuted by the Council was very stressful. I was very pleased with the advice that NSEL gave me and the manner in which they undertook the work. This reduced the stress tremendously. They successfully negotiated a reduction in the number of charges the Council took against my company, and ensured that the charges against me personally were dropped. I would have no hesitation in recommending NSEL." Ajay Singh, Director of A H Construction Services Ltd For relevant project click on following link to Prosecutions and Enforcement Chalmers Properties Limited "We are very impressed with the legal counsel and strategic advice provided by NSEL, which greatly assisted in achieving the overall outcomes sought by CPL under the Dunedin Harbourside Plan Change."
