Anderson Lloyd’s connection to the lower South Island dates back to 1862, when the firm began advising pioneers during the gold rush era. The Queenstown office was established in 1978 and has been part of the region’s growth ever since, supporting the needs of a dynamic commercial and tourism centre.

Queenstown’s entrepreneurial spirit continues to attract innovators, developers, and investors. Anderson Lloyd is proud to play a key role in this growth – advising on landmark developments and environmental projects, backing local ventures, and partnering with clients to help shape the region’s bold future.

“Queenstown is a place where big ideas happen – and we’re proud to support clients who are investing in its future,” Partner Maree Baker-Galloway.

Anderson Lloyd’s Queenstown office, located on Camp Street, is led by four experienced partners and supported by a strong local team, backed by the expertise of a national firm. The firm has recently expanded, with the partnership growing to 31 partners and supported by over 150 staff.

This combination delivers big-firm capability with genuine local insight.

The Queenstown based team advises across commercial, property, resource management, conservation, employment, overseas investment and dispute resolution/litigation. Anderson Lloyd is at the forefront of legal work underpinning the region’s development, including consenting processes, subdivisions, conservation projects and critical infrastructure.

Just as importantly, the firm supports the community through pro bono partnerships with the Queenstown Trails Trust and the Margaret Templeton Trust. Aligned with its values, Anderson Lloyd is Toitū net carbon zero certified and actively contributes to environmental initiatives such as Trees That Count, having donated more than 12,000 native trees nationwide. As well as our pro bono work Anderson Lloyd encourages its people to spend a paid day each year volunteering in the community.

As Queenstown continues to grow, Anderson Lloyd remains committed to being a trusted partner – backing bold ideas, building lasting relationships, and helping shape a thriving future for the region.
