Who We Are
Barristers & Solicitors
The firm dates back to a partnership formed shortly after the Second World War between Tanny Keegan and Jack Alexander. Tanny Keegan had an extensive commercial and property practice and Jack Alexander was a formidable litigator.
These dual strengths are reflected in the firm's present six partners and two consultants. Two partners and two consultants specialise in property, corporate, commercial and trust law while the remaining four partners specialise in commercial litigation with a strong emphasis on insurance law and insolvency law.
Andrew Barrett and Matthew Pasley are partners and Michael Friedlander and Jacqui Sibbald are consultants in our Commercial Property, Corporate and Commercial Law Department.
Peter Spring, Peter Napier, Frank Rose and Sean McAnally are partners in our Commercial Litigation Department.
The firm prides itself on providing sound, commercial advice at competitive rates. Due to our compact size, clients have greater access to and receive personal attention from the firm's partners and consultants than the larger firms.
We do not disclose our client base for obvious reasons of confidentiality but it does include:
- A number of Auckland's largest private land owners and property investors;
- A significant number of other high net worth individuals and private companies;
- Many of New Zealand's insurance companies and underwriters;
- A number of overseas insurance companies and underwriters.
The partners and consultants at Keegan Alexander are all experts in their respective areas of law. Several have a wealth of experience gained in some of New Zealand's largest law firms and all have proven track records in their chosen fields.
