Sponsors

Russell McVeagh, New Zealand’s premier law firm, has a long and proud history of sponsoring debating in New Zealand  - a tradition they continued when they came on board as ASD’s sponsor in 2010. Their valuable financial contribution provides ASD with the necessary funds to operate the competition each year, benefiting hundreds of students in the Auckland region. We are extremely grateful for their support.

Beyond sponsoring ASD, Russell McVeagh also sponsors the New Zealand Schools’ Debating Council, and the New Zealand Universities’ Debating Council.
