5 months ago


Auckland City, New Zealand Niche Full time

**About the role**

Our client is a highly respected resource management and environmental boutique practice led by highly regarded partners with a depth of industry experience.

The firm is looking to expand their legal team and employ an intermediate RM/Environmental lawyer.

You will be providing legal advice and working directly with blue chip clients, from large corporations to councils, developers and individuals in respect of plan preparation, designations, resource consents, large infrastructure developments and other resource management and planning related issues both contentious and non-contentious. You will receive high quality and interesting work with variety from the outset, as well as plenty of client contact. The boutique size of this practice means every lawyer has the opportunity to tackle contentious cases at the coal face.

**The ideal you**
- A NZ qualified solicitor, with ideally 3-5 years' experience (more or less).
- Some prior experience in resource management, environmental, public and/or local government law from a private practice or in-house role would be advantageous.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills.
- A team player with a 'can do' attitude.

It could be that you are:

- in a top tier firm looking to make the move into a smaller boutique; or
- in a smaller suburban or regional firm and looking to move into a more specialised resource management practice to develop your experience; or
- maybe you have returned, or are looking to return from overseas and are looking to secure your next resource management solicitor role?

Our client is very open-minded about where you might be currently be.

**About the firm**

This is an opportunity to work with one of the leading and well-respected resource management teams in New Zealand. If you're seeking outstanding work and want to gain experience in complex RMA issues, then look no further.
