McDonald Vague has extensive experience across every sector of the New Zealand economy
Industries We Serve
Managing more than 100 insolvency appointments each year, our team has developed practical, real-world insight into how businesses operate — across construction, hospitality, agriculture, finance, retail and beyond.
Every industry presents different challenges, asset structures and stakeholder dynamics. Our role is to assess each situation commercially, draw on our collective experience, and advise on the options that will preserve value wherever possible.
Proven Experience Across New Zealand Industries
Our five licensed insolvency practitioners work collaboratively — internally and with stakeholders — to determine the most commercially sensible path forward.
- Sometimes that means restructuring.
- Sometimes controlled trading.
- Sometimes decisive recovery action.
What remains consistent is our objective:
- Preserve value.
- Minimise fees.
- Maximise returns.
