Bell Gully wins New Zealand award at Asia Tax Awards
Bell Gully was last night named New Zealand Tax Firm of the Year at the International Tax Review Asia Tax Awards in Singapore.
It is the fourth consecutive year the firm's tax practice has been recognised at the awards.
As well as winning the Tax Firm of the Year title, the firm was also shortlisted in the two other New Zealand categories – Indirect Tax Firm of the Year and Tax Controversy Firm of the Year.
Bell Gully's tax team has also received a top ranking in a global guide to leaders in tax law across Europe, Asia Pacific and the United States. The firm has retained its top tier ranking in the Tax Directors Handbook 2010 and for the second year running, tax practice leader Niels Campbell also features as one of only four New Zealand tax lawyers in the publication's list of the world's top 250 tax lawyers as recommended by clients.
The ranking reflects the work of the tax practice in the last year, including acting on the NZ$868m amalgamation of a number of property funds into the DNZ Property Fund, advising Danone on its sale of Frucor, and providing advice on Origin Energy Resources' Kupe oil and gas development.
