Bell Gully is a leading New Zealand law firm. As one of the oldest New Zealand firms, established in 1840, its history is deeply embedded in domestic business.
Bell Gully has experts in all the areas of commercial law that their clients need. In addition to its five legal departments – corporate, litigation, banking and finance, real estate and projects and tax; they have specialist practices in competition, funds management, employment, trademarks and resource management. As with all leading firms globally, they recognise the importance to clients of having advisors who understand the industries in which they operate.

They have a strong network of "best friend" legal firms globally who we frequently team with to provide the New Zealand component of multi-jurisdictional advice on client deals. In addition, they have a number of off-shore clients with interests in New Zealand as well as a growing practice advising private investors on their New Zealand-based investments.
