John Mackay is a down-to-earth and straightforward lawyer. He has the ability to translate complicated legal language into plain English so his clients can clearly understand what is happening. This approach is what draws a wide range of clients with an ever wider variety of legal requirements.
He has been described as “timely, knowledgeable and practical” and “one of the best” by clients. He looks after both individuals and businesses.
While John specialises in company, commercial, property, insolvency and asset planning, he enjoys a life long association with the road transport industry. That connection continues through legal advice to TR Group Limited, New Zealand’s market leader in trucking solutions.
John joined Holland Beckett in 2003 and was appointed as a partner in 2007. As a newly admitted member of the Institute of Directors, John is continuing to develop his corporate governance skills.
He scrums for Tauranga Old Stars rugby team and is past president of Tauranga Sports Rugby Club. His rugby/legal expertise are also utilised as chairman of the Bay of Plenty Rugby Union Disciplinary Committee.
John also spars at Tauranga Boxing Club and believes his sporting interests are a great asset in the legal world where quick thinking and determination are the traits that most often lead to successful outcomes.
