Wynn Williams is delighted to announce the arrival of specialist commercial real estate lawyer Ed Smithies to the Partnership.
Smithies is a well-known name in commercial real estate circles and brings a track record of advising domestic and overseas clients on significant real estate capital market transactions, commercial investments and developments across the real estate sector for 17 plus years. He also assists overseas investors in managing the overseas investment approval process.
Ed’s arrival further strengthens the Firm’s credentials in the commercial real estate sector. He joins partners Davida Dunphy and Queenstown-based Jenna Adamson in spearheading the team’s national offering.
National Managing Partner Philip Maw says Smithies’ appointment will deliver a further level of sophistication to the Firm’s property sector clients, including its corporate clients and offshore clients looking to invest in Aotearoa.
“Ed is a seasoned property and construction lawyer with an impressive legacy in helping shape the commercial property landscape in Auckland, in particular.
“He will be a great asset not only to our clients at the heart of the sector but to our domestic and international clients who have a property arm to their business, or who are looking to invest in Aotearoa.”
Smithies 17 years of experience have been amassed at top tier firms in New Zealand and the UK.
