Buddle Findlay is a large top tier commercial law firm that operates throughout New Zealand, with offices in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
History.
In 1895 the Wellington firm of Buller & Anderson (Arthur Percival Buller and John Anderson) was founded, shortly thereafter in 1899 Findlay Dalziell & Co (John Findlay and Frederick George Dalziell) was founded. Buller & Anderson became Buddle Anderson Kent & Co (Thomas Buddle, John Anderson) following a series of mergers, while Findlay Dalziell & Co would eventually become Findlay Hoggard Richmond & Co. In 1982 the two firms merged to form Buddle Findlay. Four years later, the firm established an Auckland office through a merger with Malloy Moody & Greville, and a partial merger with Holmden Horrocks & Co. Through a merger with Christchurch firm Brookman Stock in 1989, the firm's Christchurch office was opened.
