- About you:
- 7+ years' PQE with a commercial litigation focus
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to run files indepedently;
- A genuine interest in progressing your career within financial services litigation;
- A good academic record; and
- Experience gained in a reputable firm - ideally a large firm or boutique litigation practice.

- Likewise, you might be returning to New Zealand from overseas and are considering joining a disputes team at a leading full-service law firm. Either way, be in touch to find out more about this position and other dispute resolution positions available.
