What we do

At Waterstone we specialise in recovery and insolvency appointments, consulting & advice to firms in distress or those considering turnaround options. We also provide expert evidence for court proceedings when called on.

In-house expertise

We are one of the only insolvency firms in New Zealand with an in-house team of lawyers.

Recovery & insolvency work is highly legal in nature. Insolvency law is a specialised field, which is why we consistently invest in our legal team to ensure we have the knowledge and capability to progress appointments efficiently and effectively.

Litigation

Having in-house lawyers gives us the ability to review and take on litigation matters even if there are limited funds available. This has allowed us to generate outstanding results for creditors. Our team’s deep legal knowledge of insolvency assists when providing expert evidence for court matters.

Transactions

In our experience of dealing with close to 1000 insolvencies over more than 16 years, we have found that in many cases speed is key. Having access to a team of lawyers on hand to draft settlement agreements, sale and purchase agreements and deeds, often means the difference between securing a deal or losing it in the moment.

Advice

When dealing with insolvency & restructuring, it is important to know your rights. Having the confidence to explain these rights to others is a powerful tool in resolving legal disputes. Our team of lawyers know the business and have access to the relevant research tools and resources.

Case studies

We take prides in the work and outcomes that our teams achieve. We have published a series of case studies that write up successful appointment outcomes. At Waterstone we also regularly test the law in court and this work has contributed to the general body of New Zealand case law on insolvency.
