They are established through shared experience, open communication and the con dence that develops from working alongside one another through periods of change, growth and complexity. For more than a decade, we have had the privilege of working with David and Kay Dodunski and the wider Fortuna team as their business has continued to grow, evolve, and lead within the sector. Fortuna’s story is well known in Southland dairying circles, but its signi cance lies not only in the scale of what has been built, but in the way it has been achieved. From the outset, Fortuna has treated us not simply as external advisers, but as part of its wider team. That level of trust has shaped the way we have worked together. It has enabled us to walk alongside the business, understand its ambitions in context, and provide advice grounded in possibility and sound judgement, rather than reasons why something couldn’t be done. Effective partnerships such as this rely on openness and mutual respect. We have consistently valued Fortuna’s willingness to engage in substantive conversations, test ideas carefully, and make decisions with both commercial discipline and conviction. Growth at this level requires courage, including the ability to identify opportunity early, invest with con dence, and continue leading when a more conservative path may appear easier. Equally notable is the care that underpins Fortuna’s ambition. The Group has invested not only in land, infrastructure and progressive farming systems, but also in its people. Its approach re ects an understanding that sustainable businesses are built through capable teams, and that leadership is demonstrated through the capability, con dence and culture developed along the way. That same thinking carries through to how Fortuna sees the future: decisions made today carry responsibilities for tomorrow. In a sector navigating complexity, scrutiny and change, this sense of stewardship is both important and distinctive. We are proud to have been trusted as part of Fortuna Group’s journey. The relationship has strengthened our own work, deepened our understanding of effective advisory partnership, and reinforced the importance of trust, shared purpose and long-term commitment in achieving enduring outcomes. It is, in many ways, exactly the kind of partnership we aim to bring to every client: legal advice shaped by a genuine understanding of the business behind it. Tavendale + Partners
