Experience
The team at Buckett Law pride ourselves on our professional approach and “going the extra mile” for our clients.
Here is what some of our clients have to say about us:
"Your experience with courts other than the environment court gave you a wider view and an ability to anticipate key legal principles that were not available under the resource management act 1991. In our opinion, one of your strengths is to look beyond the law and suggest alternative solutions, where appropriate."
David Willetts, Senior Associate, Harrison Grierson Consultants Ltd
"We were most impressed by the advice and assistance recently given to us to settle a dispute between our company and the union. The advice we received was sound, professional and extremely beneficial to the company. It was apparent that the advice was based on extensive experience and knowledge of employment law and practice."
Keith Pybus, CEO Fast Cat Ferries Limited
In the past, we have acted in cases such as:
Case study 1
We acted for a printing employer in relation to the sale of the business. This was a complex situation involving large sums of redundancy compensation as the result of numerous long-serving staff. We were involved in negotiations with the relevant union advising on employment issues in relation to the sale and transfer.
Case study 2
We acted for the fledgling fast-ferry company Top Cat Fast Ferries when strike action was threatened as part of the wider waterfront industry show down. We assisted the company to avert a crippling strike action that would have closed the business and to successfully negotiate an agreement.
Case study 3
We acted for a property company in relation to the recovery of confidential information removed by a former employee to set up business in competition. This involved the issuing of proceedings for an injunction, which saw the return of the property and a restraint on its use in competition to the company.
Case study 4
We recently acted for a Government department and successfully defeated a personal grievance claim where the department had technically not followed its own procedure but where we argued the dismissal was substantively justified and inevitable.
