Bell Gully tops international legal rankings

Bell Gully has been confirmed as New Zealand's leading commercial law firm by recent rankings in two international legal directories.

In Global Counsel 3000, Bell Gully received more "leading firm" rankings for areas of expertise and more recommended lawyers than any other New Zealand law firm.

Backing up the result, IFLR 1000 awarded the firm four "top tier" rankings in the key practice areas of banking and finance, M&A, project finance, and insolvency and restructuring.

"These are great results from two of the world's most respected legal directories," said Matthew Cockram, Bell Gully chairman. "They confirm Bell Gully's strength across the key areas of commercial law."

Global Counsel 3000 is published annually by London's Practical Law Company, and is compiled through independent research, client references and peer review.

IFLR 1000 is produced annually by International Financial Law Review, and is published by the Euromoney Legal Media Group.
