Simpson Grierson secures returning talent

Simpson Grierson's banking and finance department is delighted to have secured the talent of special counsel Nicole Xanthopol. Nicole joined the Auckland transactional group on contract last year after returning to New Zealand from magic circle law firm Linklaters LLP in London, where she was a partner. Nicole's experience includes working with banks and corporates on a variety of domestic and international lending transactions and complex tax structured financings.

The firm's corporate and commercial department also welcomes two new senior associates from leading London law firms. Jaron McVicar joins the Auckland corporate group from Hogan Lovells, after seven years in the UK. His practice encompasses a wide range of corporate transactional matters including mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, private equity, and venture capital transactions. He frequently advises on corporate governance and constitutional matters.

Energy and infrastructure specialist Megan Bonetti joins the Wellington commercial group after ten years with Clifford Chance. Megan's experience encompasses a wide range of transactions including mergers and acquisitions, project structuring, joint ventures, governance and third party access, and other market based regulatory arrangements.
