CLANZ picks Bell Gully as principal sponsor to 2005
The Corporate Lawyers' Association of New Zealand (CLANZ) has selected leading law firm Bell Gully to continue as its principal sponsor until September 2005, following a competitive tender process.
CLANZ represents the interest of some 1,100 in-house lawyers working in business and government organisations, and Bell Gully has been principal sponsor of the association since 2000.
The sponsorship will support member activities including the annual conference, seminars and education.
"Bell Gully's re-appointment as CLANZ's principal sponsor for another two years builds on a solid platform of helping CLANZ deliver value to in-house counsel", said CLANZ President Ron Pol.
"CLANZ plays a vital role in developing and supporting the in-house legal profession in New Zealand and has set exciting goals for the years ahead," said Maggie Callicrate, Bell Gully CEO.
"Bell Gully has been proud to sponsor CLANZ over the last three years and I hope our continued support will help CLANZ to further develop its member services."
