DLA Piper New Zealand is a global business law firm operating in New Zealand. With lawyers in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific, we provide a seamless service, advising international clients doing business in New Zealand and New Zealand organisations doing business elsewhere.

Joining our New Zealand offices means you become part of a strong, capable group of people recognised for their unmatched client service and down-to-earth, pragmatic manner. We have a truly international presence, award-winning reputation, and a proven track record of exceptional growth.

About the Role

We have an opportunity available for an Associate/Senior Associate to join our Corporate Team. We are looking for someone with at least five years' experience in corporate and commercial law. You will be supporting two busy partners and be involved in all corporate aspects of transactions involving investments in the renewables sector.

You will have a passion for the law, a commercial approach, and a keen interest in working with our strong local and international client base (as well as with DLA Piper teams in other offices around the globe).

About the team

DLA Piper's Corporate team is recognised for its cross-border expertise and workflows, its strong client base, and its pragmatic, corporate approach. The team has a diverse and interesting client base. Joining this team will provide you with the opportunity to get involved in high quality, interesting and challenging work in a supportive environment. Bringing passion and energy to our busy practice is essential.

About you

To be considered for this opportunity you will need to have experience or a strong interest in the renewables sector and be a high performing problem solver with the ability to think on your feet. Experience in managing large scale transactions across multiple teams, supervising intermediate/junior lawyers, and experience working with the Overseas Investment Office regime would be desirable.

We are looking for a team player, who will continue to offer the high levels of service that our clients have come to expect. If you think your repertoire of skills, abilities, and energy matches this exciting and dynamic career opportunity, we want to hear from you.

We are defined by our people and are committed to recruiting, developing, and retaining the highest calibre of professionals. We believe that fostering diversity and inclusion allows us to acquire the most talented people, to build the most effective teams for our clients, and deliver the highest level of service.

Giving something back

DLA Piper is deeply committed to pro bono. Our pro bono efforts focus on three areas: the rights of children, access to justice and the rule of law, and assisting asylum seekers, refugees, and stateless people. Our work is both global and local. We are committed to helping to build a pro bono culture in the legal profession around the world.

In 2023, we gave over 250,000 hours of free legal advice, making us one of the world's largest providers of pro bono legal services.
