Foreign Investment in New Zealand

Expert advice for those intending to invest in New Zealand

The main controls on overseas investment are governed by the Overseas Investment Act 2005 and the Overseas Investment Regulations 2005.

If you intend to invest in New Zealand, you'll require expert legal advice. Contact us as early as possible for advice on controls regulating your proposed area of investment.
