Description
Meredith Connell (MC) is one of New Zealand's oldest and most respected law firms, as the country's leading public interest litigation firm.
Meredith Connell's areas of expertise cover every type of litigation, dispute resolution and legal advice.
As Office of the Crown Solicitor at Auckland, Meredith Connell is the repository and custodian of specialist knowledge that’s been accrued over generations to benefit the Crown, while ensuring prosecution decisions are independent from politicians. We derive legitimacy from Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
Today's MC is a blended firm, with our litigators doing both Crown prosecutions and every other kind of litigation. That gives the Crown a huge resource of litigators to prosecute criminal cases.
