Oceanlaw New Zealand takes a pro-active approach to fisheries, aquaculture and marine law. To do otherwise can result in complex litigation with potentially expensive consequences, as well as costly and time consuming delays. Our philosophy is to encourage clients to seek advice before things go wrong. Drawing on international resources we offer fishing and aquaculture companies a knowledgeable and lateral approach, tailored to the industry, that anticipates problems.
This is the most cost-effective way to approach fisheries law – it also gives clients the asset protection they require over valuable quota, equipment, plant, property and fishing vessels. We can review your operations to ensure you are in compliance with the fisheries law, and set up early warning systems to prevent problems arising. The result is a comprehensive compliance strategy. Once strategic and tactical plans are in place, a system is ready to swing into action when damage control is required. It is a proven way to mitigate costly downstream effects. Litigation is always a last resort. However, Oceanlaw New Zealand has a team of experienced litigators, and they are prepared to take a strong, aggressive, professional stance when required.
