Law firm Tompkins Wake has been shortlisted for three awards at the 2018 New Zealand Law Awards.
It has been nominated for mid-size law firm of the year (firms with six to 23 partners), for mid-market deal of the year for the $67 million sale of BBC Technologies to Norwegian-basedTOMRA, and for employer of choice (51 to 100 lawyers).
Tompkins Wake chief executive Jon Calder said the firm was honoured to be recognised.
"Over the past decade we have continued to grow and invest in building a team of exceptionally talent people focused on specialisation and expertise," Calder said.
"At a time when our industry has been in turmoil in terms of its culture, we're especially proud to have been nominated in the employer of choice category.
"We pride ourselves on providing a workplace where our team feels valued, safe and supported, and their achievements celebrated."
The firm was founded in 1922 and has offices in Auckland, Hamilton and Rotorua.
Now in its 14th consecutive year, the New Zealand Law Awards celebrate excellence in the legal industry, recognising outstanding firms, lawyers and in-house teams for their achievements over the past 12 months, as well as landmark deals.
