Simpson Grierson partners Duncan Laing, Michael Wood, Philip Merfield and Senior Associate Phil Shannon were granted accreditation in: All Legislation; All Roading; PWA - Acquisition; and PWA - Compensation. Senior Associate, Donna Hurley, was also granted accreditation in the categories of All Legislation and All Roading.

Partner Duncan Laing described the accreditation as, "Great news for the firm and our local government and environment property team, as it is official recognition of our expertise in these areas of work. We are particularly pleased to receive accreditation in all four categories applied for and look forward to expanding on the wide range of  property related legal services we can offer to our local and central government clients, both directly and through, Land Information New Zealand."
