Who is Harmos Horton Lusk?

Harmos Horton Lusk is New Zealand's pre-eminent corporate legal advisory firm.  We have a well-earned reputation for innovative, solution-centred advice and an enviable reputation for expertise at the high end of the market.

We're defined by our absolute commitment to our clients' success.  We "find ways to do things others say you can't" (Asia Pacific Legal 500 2016).

We've forged that reputation because we are not simply 'black letter' lawyers.  Keen commercial insight and a willingness to innovate are hallmarks of legal practice at HHL.

Why work with us?

We have an unwavering commitment to the continued development and well-being of our people.  We recognise that we are fortunate to have a very talented group of lawyers and support crew.  Their confidence and trust in us is highly valued.  It is reciprocated and rewarded in terms of both financial and non-financial benefits.

You will learn from some of New Zealand's most respected corporate lawyers, honing your incisive thinking and creative problem-solving skills on high profile work, in a dynamic, supportive, team-orientated environment.

Your work may include specialist corporate advice, mergers and acquisitions, private equity and venture capital, capital markets and securities, foreign investment, and more.

Our uniquely flat structure means you'll benefit from open knowledge sharing with colleagues who are invested in your success.  Our culture of support and our collegial environment - which extends to our families - is a big reason why we are successful at what we do.
