Michael Kyriak

Michael has a unique background to business broking as he has 25 years’ experience as a practicing solicitor specialising in – you guessed it – business sales and acquisitions. 

Starting with Chapman Tripp in 1997, Michael practiced law for a number of years in Australia before returning to New Zealand and commencing his own commercial legal practice in 2005 - which he recently passed over to his brother, Theo Kyriak, so that Michael can focus solely on business sales.

Michael’s experience means that he is very comfortable and competent assisting in respect of significant size business sales – whilst he is happy to assist in any transaction, Michael’s preference is transactions over $2m and, in his previous career, he has advised in respect of transactions well over $50 million.  Michael has a particular passion to see “succession” sales transactions done well.

Michael focuses on delivering value and believes that spending the time to get prepared for sale is time well spent.  Proper preparation, combined with running a fair, well-structured and transparent sales process, has meant that Michael has a very high completion rate on sales transactions that he has advised on over the years.

Give Michael a call or an email and he will be happy to meet with you to discuss the opportunities available in respect of the sale of your business.
