Our Expertise

Our Auckland Super City team offers both legal and strategic Auckland focused local government advice. Team members at Kensington Swan have advised and acted on behalf of all local authorities in the Auckland region, including many of the council-controlled organisations.
 
We are at the forefront of local authority legal practice and are expert advisers to council clients on all aspects of their performance, including governance, human resources, finance and rating, resource management, property and Maori representation—key issues in one of the largest change management projects in New Zealand’s history.
 
Kensington Swan also has extensive experience in local government–business relationships. The impact of the Super City on commercial operators, be they current council suppliers and contactors or council owned entities, will be profound. We can assist with questions concerning current contractual relationships, the tender process for new work, the resolution of commercial disputes, and the role of community-based providers.
 

We can provide specific advice on the following: transport, infrastructure, information technology, waste management, roading, resource management, water, governance and Maori representation, all of which will all be major areas of priority and consolidation for the new council.
