Vince & Rice is a specialist finance and corporate law firm based in Auckland, New Zealand. We were established in 2018.

The firm’s principal, John-Paul Rice, worked at leading firms in Australia and the United Kingdom before coming to New Zealand, where he was a partner at a leading national firm before starting Vince & Rice. John-Paul and the firm have been recognised in leading legal directories Chambers, Legal 500, and IFLR1000.

Our clients are our key focus. We listen to what our clients do and what they want and leverage our market and legal expertise to drive optimal outcomes. Outstanding legal advice is a core component, and we pride ourselves on providing clear, strategic advice and risk assessment. We identify key issues early and drive solutions focussing on resolving the material issues as efficiently as possible.

We act for registered banks in New Zealand, New Zealand and Australian non-bank lenders (which have become increasingly prominent in the New Zealand market in the last few years), local and offshore corporate entities (including NZX and ASX listed entities), finance companies and overseas entities looking to establish businesses in New Zealand. Information about our clients is confidential, but we would be pleased to discuss our expertise and how we might assist.
