Nick Swallow, Barrister

Environmental | Local Government

Confidently navigating Environmental and Local Government challenges.

  • Environmental Law

    Resource management law is complex and contentious. Whether you are an applicant, submitter or consent authority, I can guide you successfully through the process to meet your goals.

  • Local Government

    Local authorities are subject to an array of overlapping and sometimes conflicting legislation. My past experience as the head of a legal department at a large City Council means I can help you navigate the maze.

My background in both private practice and as the head of a large in-house legal team at a City Council has given me a unique insight into the best ways to help my clients resolve local authority and environmental challenges. With extensive experience gained on a range of high-profile matters, I can help you find a smooth pathway through the complexities of resource consents, planning frameworks, Building Act and other Local Authority or regulatory issues.

I am a pragmatic and practical lawyer who recognises that there is always more than one way to get the right result. You can count on me to give you straightforward and straight-up advice every time. While based in Tauranga, I operate throughout Aotearoa | New Zealand.
