“We are delighted to have someone of Sam's calibre and experience join our firm. He is a highly regarded and trusted lawyer who, over many years, has formed deep relationships in the Lakes region and across the South Island. Sam's appointment reflects our commitment to grow our South Island practice and further strengthens our capability and quality of offering to service our clients”, Russell McVeagh board chair David Butler said.
Nelson will work together with partner Tony Sycamore, who leads the Queenstown branch, and his team from Van Aart Sycamore Lawyers. Russell McVeagh had announced its Queenstown debut last August.
