Regulatory Defence
We defend businesses and professionals under investigation or prosecution by regulators like the Commerce Commission, Financial Markets Authority, MBIE, WorkSafe, local councils, and professional disciplinary bodies such as the Law Society or Medical Council.
Our services include:
- Acting at the investigation stage and hearings before tribunal or regulator panels
- Representation in professional disciplinary proceedings
- Advising on compliance and risk mitigation strategies
- Handling regulatory appeals when necessary

Why Choose Us?
Personalised Strategy
Each case receives tailored advice, clear communication, and an advocacy plan based on your individual circumstances and objectives.
Transparent Billing Options
For certain regulatory matters, we offer fixed-fee arrangements, so you understand costs upfront, otherwise we operated time-based billing.
For time-based billing we will be upfront about anticipated costs and can usually provide reasonably accurate cost estimates for different stages of the court proceedings.
Proven Record
Molloy Batts has a proven record representing clients even at the highest legal levels in New Zealand courts.
Friendly yet formidable advocacy—available for urgent consultations where needed.
