Alfred Harford

We have used Malloy Goodwin Harford as our lawyers for two decades, under three CEOs and three Chairmen.  Both Alfred and Marise have provided us with sound advice, we have always felt valued as clients, and have been given very prompt service.  We have used them for franchise advice, sale and purchase transactions, and many other incidental matters, including legislative and compliance guidance.
Paper Plus would like to congratulate Malloy Goodwin Harford on 25 years of business; and I am sure we will continue to benefit from their solid guidance and support in the years to come.   

Katie Treneman, Chairman, Paper Plus New Zealand Limited

We have been served in numerous capacities by many solicitors over decades. Alfred is one of the very best.

Our lengthy experience of Alfred’s caring and reassuring competency derives particularly from his assistance and advice on our trusts and asset planning arrangements, backed by his deep commercial understanding and practicality.
Alfred is today’s professional gentleman - ethical, thoughtful, courteous but also highly competent, up-to-date and efficient. He takes great care to ensure we understand the risks and significance of decisions upon lifestyle, family, fellow shareholders and investment strategies. He is articulate and possesses superior IQ and EQ.
He works effortlessly and respectfully in his interface with a husband and wife of differing commercial, financial and legal experience, business backgrounds and divergent risk appetites.
Alfred’s drafting and documentary support is of a high standard - comprehensive, complete and accurate.

Kevin and Emma Malloy, Directors and Investors

Malloy Goodwin Harford, with particular reference to Alfred Harford have supported me with legal services and advice now for in excess of 20 years. During this time I have built and exited a small business, undertaken a number of property transactions along with family trust and Will work. It is very important to me when working with professionals operating in a field where my own personal expertise is limited, that you can have absolute trust and faith in their advice, their work and their integrity. I can say without any doubt that at all times during the various items of work carried out I have always felt that the advice given was accurate, appropriate and of the highest calibre. I note that MGH have marked 25 years in business and I applaud them on their standards and wish them every success in the future.

Allister Daly, Managing Director, GN ReSound Australia and New Zealand  

I have had the pleasure of working with Alfred on numerous business and family transactions over the past 15 years. On a number of occasions, this has involved drafting and negotiating multi-party documents across different geographic regions with a high deal of complexity and varying time zones. Alfred’s knowledge, advice and demeanour during these transactions has always highly been professional, invariably leading to favourable outcomes that have stood the test of time and been beneficial to my business and family. Working with Alfred is always a pleasure and I look forward to our next catch up! Congratulations Malloy Goodwin Harford on achieving 25 years in business.

Stuart Bulcraig, Director and Investor

Alfred Harford has been my lawyer for over 20 years.  I consider Alfred to be a very good lawyer. He is very professional, and is also interested in his clients’ welfare.  Alfred always takes extra time to explain to me what I need to know on legal matters.   He is my mentor and provides me with guidance when requested.

We have known Alfred Harford for approximately the past 40 years when as a junior he joined the legal practice we were clients of at the time. After a period of time we became his clients, and subsequently, over 20 years ago, moved with him to the Malloy Goodwin Harford practice.  Over this long period of time, Alfred has given us and our family top class and reliable legal service in many different areas. He has been prepared to go the extra mile and we have come to not only rely on his professional expertise and thorough execution of his duties, but to count him as a kind and reliable friend.
We are pleased to write this testimonial to the excellent service we have received and to congratulate Alfred and all at Malloy Goodwin Harford on achieving 25 years in business.
