This has proven to be a winning formula with client testimonials referring to the firm as \u201cpragmatic, commercial and knowledgeable\u201d.<\/p>\n

Managing Partner Tim Walden said of the win, \u201cIt is nice to get external recognition for all the hard work that the James & Wells team has put in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Working in synch with a wide range of sponsorship partners including The Icehouse, NZ Food Awards, the Technology Investment Network (TIN) and NZ Fine Food Awards, the James & Wells team take great pride in the role they play in educating and supporting the growth of innovative New Zealand businesses.<\/p>\n
