what others say
“I have worked with the principals of vivian+espie for a number of years. They are well known and respected in the region for their experience and knowledge, not only of what they do, but of the region itself. They understand the fragile landscape within which we live and work, and more importantly they understand the rules adopted by the Queenstown Lakes District Council to protect such landscapes, as in many cases they were instrumental in drafting them. Such experience, knowledge and understanding goes a long way, but more than anything makes their clients’ involvement in resource management processes easier, as in my experience vivian+espie are personally known, respected and generally held in very high standing by consent authorities and other consultants involved in the area.”

“Both Ben and Carey’s experience in Environment Court has earned them the respect of the judges and a reputation as credible witnesses. It is this that usually carries the case.”

“It’s about managing the process, and predicting what the council is going to say, that’s what vivian+espie do. They know what it takes to get a development approved.”
