Our Capabilities

Our specialist technology team has the expertise and capacity to keep pace with the varied and changing demands our clients face.

We have a strong track record in major information technology projects and our technology lawyers have advised on some of the country's most significant information technology and outsourcing projects.

Clients benefit from our experience advising on technology infrastructure, procurement contracts, software licensing, systems integration, technology transfers and software development. We combine our experience and understanding with a commercial approach to achieve the best possible results when it comes to outsourcing and tendering.

Our technology practice provides integrated legal advice, utilising Bell Gully's industry experts in a range of relevant areas, including intellectual property, financing, dispute resolution and tax.

Our team advises on and implements technology initiatives for major businesses and we are privileged to work with many of New Zealand's blue-chip technology clients as well as corporate and government organisations who are some of the country's biggest IT users.

Bell Gully also supports many smaller and start-up technology clients and has been recognised for its strategic expertise in this area. We have in place specific initiatives to help support new technology businesses as a key area of growth for the country in the years ahead.

We help clients translate innovation into successful business ventures. Our team advises companies on corporate structure, capital raising (including IPOs, venture capital, angel investment, private equity and government funding), licensing, joint ventures, partnering and strategic alliances, employment, employee share schemes and tax.

We also advise other organisations developing new technologies, including scientists, venture capitalists and government agencies. We have advised the New Zealand Government in almost every sector including health, pharmaceuticals and scientific research. We act for a number of Crown Research Institutes.
