Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand QJumpers Recruitment Services Full time

From humble beginnings to a truly national player, Calder Stewart is a nationwide leader in developing property and building solutions for New Zealand's industrial and commercial markets.

Every year our team of around 450 people delivers outcomes for local, national, and international clients by building many of the largest and most complex projects across the country.

A family-owned business started in Milton, Otago in 1955, for almost 70 years we have successfully evolved our services into a national offering. Our capabilities include an extensive land portfolio, end-to-end property services, Design Build solutions, plus manufacturing and construction services. We have generations of proven experience on our team, we deliver flexible solutions, and we are driven by a common set of values in 'Find a Way', 'Play Fair', 'Be Loyal' and 'Own It'.

About the opportunity

As part of the Shared Services Team, the Legal Counsel will be directly involved in complex business transactions, providing leadership in the direction and execution of contractual relationships which will ensure that Calder Stewart can continue to be a leader in smarter building solutions and achieve its strategic and commercial objectives.

Reporting to the COO/General Counsel and working integrally with our various business leaders, you will provide legal input into contractual negotiations, implementation, and management to ensure the efficient and effective running of all contractual obligations, including assisting the business to manage commercial disputes. In doing so, assisting the COO/General Counsel identify, assess, and mitigate legal risk for the Group.

About you

You will be a mid-senior lawyer with a current NZ practicing certificate and at least 4 years' PQE within a commercial / corporate team.

You will be a clear communicator with a pragmatic and solutions-focused approach. An understanding of NZ construction law is not essential.

You will be competent to work independently of others whilst knowing your limits and when to ask for help. Most of all you will be passionate about getting stuck in and delivering results.

At the moment you might be working in-house or in private practice, but you are looking to be part of a close-knit team, focused on delivering legal support to the wider organisation so that together, you can achieve future-focused objectives.
