New partner has advised on some of New Zealand’s largest transactions
Specialist corporate and commercial law firm Morrison Mallett has announced the appointment of Victoria Anderson as partner.
Anderson joined the firm’s Auckland office in October 2020, having previously worked at a top tier national firm for several years. She has extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), with a focus on in-bound investment into New Zealand and the primary industries, and has advised on some of New Zealand’s largest transactions – including the acquisition of Westland Milk Co-operative Dairy Company by Inner Mongolia Yili in 2019.
Additionally, Anderson is experienced in insolvency and has advised on several significant distressed asset sales, administrations, and receiverships. She also undertakes a range of work on commercial projects – including in the agriculture, forestry and water sectors.
Matthew Mallett, senior partner at Morrison Mallet, said that the firm is “delighted to welcome a corporate and commercial lawyer of Victoria’s calibre and expertise to the partnership.”
“Her appointment broadens the firm’s depth of expertise in both the M&A and insolvency practice areas and continues the firm’s recent growth in the Auckland market,” said Mallett.
Morrison Mallett was launched in 2013 as a specialist corporate and commercial firm and acts for a wide variety of clients, from start-ups to some of New Zealand’s leading corporate entities, as well as international organisations and private equity funds that hold investments in New Zealand.
