Bell Gully named New Zealand's Who's Who Legal Firm of the Year for third year running

Monday 14 July 2008

Bell Gully has just been named New Zealand Law Firm of the Year in the Who's Who Legal 2008 awards. The firm has now received the award every year since its inception three years ago.

Who's Who Legal uses nominations from clients and private practice professionals to identify leading firms in 50 countries and five US states annually.

Who's Who editor in chief Callum Campbell says: "In a highly competitive field, receiving the Who's Who Legal Law Firm of the Year Award for New Zealand a third time is a truly outstanding achievement."

"Bell Gully's continuing success is reflected in the consistently positive feedback we received recognising the firm's exceptional individual and collective talent. We have no hesitation in declaring Bell Gully the leading firm in the country."

Callum Campbell says the publication lists only the leading practitioners in each field, based on the findings of an independent six-month research process. The awards are based on factors including ongoing feedback, past performance and the overall aggregate number of weighted votes cast in their favour.

In May, The International Who's Who of Business Lawyers 2008 listed 11 Bell Gully partners as leading individuals across nine practice areas, more than any other firm in New Zealand.
