GOLD Sponsor - Clendons

website: http://www.clendons.co.nz

Clendons has provided legal advice to many Designers Institute members over the years. Our commitment to the Visual Arts extends to our role as official solicitors for the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography Inc, Advertising and Illustrative Photographers Association Inc, Licensed Buildings Practitioners Institute Inc and The New Zealand Division of the Royal Institute of Naval Architects Inc.

We value our long-standing relationship with DINZ, which dates back to the inception of the Institute, and we are delighted to continue our support of DINZ through sponsorship. Our sponsorship provides legal services and continuing professional development to both DINZ and its members.

As part of our sponsorship commitment to DINZ, Clendons are pleased to provide free 15-minute consultations to DINZ members on legal issues. Consultations are provided by senior legal professionals with experience in advising designers and visual artists (note: Consultations must be arranged through the DINZ secretariat).

In addition to our specialist visual arts and intellectual property practice, Clendons has provided legal and strategic advice to DINZ members on a variety of relevant legal issues including joint venture and commercial projects, contracts and terms of trade, project disputes, employment law, and trade practices.

We are delighted to have renewed our sponsorship of DINZ for three years from July of 2006. Please feel free to visit our website www.clendons.co.nz to view our specialist practice areas, access our resource library and view recent publications on topical legal issues affecting visual artists.
