Holland Beckett is delighted to start its next chapter as the anchor tenant in the new Northern Quarter development and to play an active role in the revitalisation of Tauranga CBD. Holland Beckett is the largest law firm in Tauranga. The firm, known originally as WS Holland, was established in 1937 by William Sydney Holland. In 1949 Holland was joined by Barney Beckett – the duo providing the well-known name of the firm. Over the 88 years since its establishment there have been several moves and changes as the firm grew from strength to strength. In 2008 expansion necessitated the move to ‘The Hub’ on Cameron Road and from there Holland Beckett – or Hobec – continued to be a legal leader in the region, their Tauranga office continuing to grow in size and capability, along with offices in Rotorua and Whakatāne. When Hobec moved their Tauranga office to the open plan space at The Hub 17 years ago, it was a bold move. Traditionally lawyers all had their own office, but the partners credit the growth of the firm to the flexible and collaborative environment. As a full service firm, specialist teams work together to share expertise and the open plan environment facilitates that collaboration, as well as enhancing supervision and delegation which are key to developing good lawyers. With expert senior specialists supported by highly skilled junior lawyers and support staff, the firm has the capability and capacity to provide exceptional service and value to clients over the full spectrum of legal services – from a simple Will to a complex legal matter. Growth has now triggered the next move and the start of a new chapter for Holland Beckett, one that brings them into the landmark development that is Northern Quarter. Taking approximately 2000 square meters of space over the top floor and half of the second floor, the larger footprint has been thoughtfully designed, with the legal team located on the same floor, more breakout spaces and collaborative rooms with the most up to date AV technology. Practice Manager Sharline Fitzgerald said “We are focused on providing an office that meets the needs and expectations of both clients and staff. With flexible work options now the norm we see benefits in making the office a destination that our people want to come to. As the city grows we are seeing a greater emphasis on public transport, cycleways and even a ferry service. These services tend to terminate at the CBD so we are looking forward to being able to increase our participation.” With over 130 people in the Tauranga office, including almost 70 lawyers (compared to 14 when the firm moved into The Hub in 2008), Hobec decided to make this move to support the city that has supported them. The firm is well known for its contributions to the community, with a long history of committing time, energy and resources to a variety of organisations including sporting and cultural teams, community groups and charity initiatives, local events and the business community. Hobec wanted to have a physical presence in the heart of the city and to be part of the major redevelopment currently underway. Bringing their large team to the heart of the city is good for Holland Beckett – and it is great for the business, retail and hospitality sectors.
