Wigley & Company is a specialist law firm focusing on IT, telecommunications, regulation/competition, public law and policy, and media. Founded 16 years ago, we act for companies, public sector agencies and NGOs both in New Zealand and internationally. While we act extensively in the commercial sector, we have a strong public sector agency client base.

We have been involved in some of the largest infrastructure projects both in the public and the private sector.

As Chambers’ highly respected 2009 Global Guide to the World’s Best Lawyers notes in relation to our Telecommunications, Media and Technology (TMT) work:

"This specialist ICT firm boasts expertise across a broad spectrum of TMT issues and is considered “particularly outstanding for regulatory and public policy work.” Public law accounts for the majority of this firm’s caseload, and it recently acted in a major inquiry involving the country’s District Health Boards, an instruction arising from the firm’s previous work for the Ministry of Health. Nationwide trends have accounted for a recent drop in outsourcing work, but this has allowed the team to develop its international profile with several outsourcing-related cases across Europe. Michael Wigley attracts praise as “a great person to work with - highly enthusiastic and dedicated to his work.” Acknowledged by peers as “the single best TMT lobbyist in New Zealand,” he specialises in public sector procurement and is frequently instructed by the New Zealand government."

We enjoy the role of being trusted advisor to our clients providing:

• a strong understanding of their wider needs;
• genuinely innovative solutions;
• solutions that exceed the expectations of our clients; and
• personalised service (we try hard to work well at a personal level with clients).

We are different. We believe we are chosen by our clients because of our:

• strong combination of commercial, legal, technical and strategic smarts; and
• ability to provide, from a specialist firm, the breadth and depth of service that’s required for such projects.

Most importantly, we are heavily client focused. Other firms say they are, but “client focus” is this firm’s middle name.

Most of our services are provided to large companies (such as multinationals), publicly listed companies, and public sector agencies. But we also look after numerous smaller clients such as website developers.
