Lane Neave has strengthened its partnership in Auckland with the addition of Joshua Jones.

Jones brings both local and global experience in tackling cross-border acquisition and leveraged finance. He has worked with banks, private equity sponsors, corporates and non-bank lenders.

Jones focuses on banking, restructuring and insolvency law. He has provided guidance to clients on complex restructuring, workout and insolvency issues. His clients include corporate debtors and creditors, directors, insolvency practitioners, and other stakeholders in businesses experiencing financial difficulties.

Jones is dual-qualified to practise in New Zealand and England and Wales.
