About the Client

Our client is a national law firm who has garnered a position as a top firm in New Zealand.

Consistently acclaimed as an Employer of Choice, our client is a highly regarded firm for those seeking a long-term career in the legal field.

About the Opportunity

An exciting opportunity has cropped up in the firm's Dispute Resolution team and we are now looking to appoint an Associate or Senior Associate to take a seat within this division.

As a member of the Dispute Resolution team, you will work with a diverse range of clients, including individuals, businesses, and corporations, on complex and high-value matters. This position will also work on company issues, contracts, negligence, and contentious trusts and estates.

Offering genuine autonomy, this role will have you sitting in the driver seat of running your own files from start to finish with support from senior staff. Additionally, at this level, you will have the opportunity to develop leadership skills by mentoring junior lawyers in the firm.

Benefits and Perks

About You

Our preferred candidate is already operating at the Associate or even Senior Associate level. High-level expertise in civil litigation is expected, and experience in the construction sector is advantageous but not mandatory.

Excellent legal writing and research skills are essential coupled high attention to detail and accuracy. Being a collaborative team player, you will need to have the interpersonal skills to build relationships within and outside of the firm.

In return, you will be welcomed as valued member of the firm and will enjoy continuous advancement through tailored programs and support from the partners and senior staff.
