Russell McVeagh partners David Weavers (Banking & Finance) and Alex MacDuff (Litigation/R&I), senior associate Matt Consedine (Banking & Finance), and solicitor Verniel Virtucio (Litigation/R&I), are proud to have contributed the New Zealand chapter of the Chambers & Partners Private Credit 2025: A Global Practice Guide.
The guide features over a dozen key jurisdictions. It provides the latest information and legal commentary on the New Zealand private credit market, deal and fund sizes, licensing and regulatory approval, typical structuring and documentation practice, tax considerations, guarantees and security, and restructuring, enforcement and insolvency issues in private credit.
Russell McVeagh has New Zealand’s leading private credit offering. The broader banking and finance team has seven partners and 27 other qualified lawyers, with virtually all senior lawyers having worked for leading magic circle and/or US firms. No other team in the market has this depth of senior expertise. The team acts for both borrower and private credit lenders and has advised on some of the largest transactions. The team is the go-to adviser for the growing non-bank lending market – including having assisted two of New Zealand’s largest private credit managers in establishing new funds – and regularly works with regional and global private equity sponsors on their New Zealand acquisitions (including related financings) and private credit lenders.
