Recent experience
Lindsey has advised:

- AMP in obtaining New Zealand Commerce Commission approval for AMP to acquire AXA Asia Pacific, paving the way for the creation of New Zealand’s largest financial services company
- Transpacific Industries, New Zealand’s largest solid and liquid waste business, to obtain clearance to acquire solid waste businesses and assets from New Zealand’s second largest solid waste operator, and specified liquid/hazardous waste business from Medi-Chem Services
- Sonic Healthcare to obtain clearance to enter into a joint venture with Abano Healthcare in relation to pathology services in the Wellington region, and
- Vector on its clearance to acquire 100% of NGC Holdings. The transaction also required application to the Commerce Commission for exemptions to enable the continuation of various activities otherwise prohibited under the Electricity Industry Reform Act. The clearance and exemptions paved the way for the NZ$1.3b takeover of NGC, making Vector the largest energy infrastructure company in New Zealand.
