ASCO Legal was founded around 15 years ago as a breakaway from a top-tier Auckland firm. We established ourselves as a small but dynamic law firm in downtown Auckland, dedicated to providing expert legal services delivered with a down-to-earth approach.
Alistair joined the firm in 2012 and entered into partnership with Miles Agmen-Smith in 2015, with each leveraging their unique skill sets and legal specialisations. Alistair, with degrees in Commerce and Law, focuses on commercial law, property and asset protection. Miles brought his experience from leading New Zealand law firms and his tenure in the UK, along with his role as a former chairman of the Franchise Association of New Zealand (FANZ), specialising in commercial and franchising law.
After many years of partnership and growth, and following Miles’s retirement, Alistair relocated ASCO Legal from Auckland CBD to the heart of Howick, bringing the firm closer to the community.
Today, nestled in East Auckland's seaside village of Howick, ASCO Legal continues to expand its expertise in commercial and property law, committed to providing relationship-focused and understandable legal services across New Zealand.
