"Bell Gully is atop the market, acting on some of the largest capital market transactions to succeed in New Zealand. A client who uses the firm as a first port of call for equity capital markets transactions explains why: ‘The first reason is experience – experience goes to capability and ability to get things done, and get things right first time. Second is commitment to get things done quickly and efficiently. Also they are nice guys and in a small market you come across them on both sides of a transaction. They always act in the best interest of their client.'" |
