Dairy Industry

Russell McVeagh has a long history representing various major players in New Zealand's dairy industry.

Most significantly, we played an integral role in the restructuring of the various dairy co-operatives and the New Zealand Dairy Board into a single, integrated multinational - Fonterra Co-operative Group. Fonterra is New Zealand's largest company, one of the top six dairy companies in the world by turnover (June 2006 Rabobank ratings), the world's leading exporter of dairy products and is responsible for more than a third of international dairy trade.

We are proud to continue to act for Fonterra, and are the only law firm to continuously do so since Fonterra's inception. We provide legal advice to many of Fonterra's business units, both in New Zealand and overseas. Our range of work for Fonterra includes:

  • Corporate Advisory; 
  • Competition; 
  • Finance; 
  • Information Technology; 
  • Litigation; 
  • Resource Management; and 
  • Tax.
