Holland Beckett has bolstered its property and commercial practice with new special counsel Hilary Anderson, who was one of NZ Lawyer’s Rising Stars in 2022.

Anderson specialises in property and commercial law. She has advised private clients, property developers, and commercial clients.

She has tackled residential and commercial property transactions as well as matters involving finance, property development, conveyancing, subdivisions, commercial leasing, franchising, and contracts. She has a particular interest in trusts, asset planning, and protection; she has also worked extensively on issues related to complex or large estates.

Anderson has been based in Tauranga for more than 10 years. She previously recorded a stint at Cooney Lees Morgan.

“Hilary’s appointment comes at a time of significant momentum for the firm as we grow our commercial and development practices”, partner Dean Thompson said. “In our past dealings, Hilary has consistently impressed us with her common sense and commercial approach. She will be a valuable addition to the team”.

Holland Beckett indicated that it is also set to move its Tauranga presence to a new location next year.
