Auckland, New Zealand Lane Neave Full time
Associate/Senior Associate - Litigation Lawyer

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced lawyer (5+ years PQE) to work as part of a top-performing litigation team within a full-service law firm, based in our Auckland office.

In this position, you will:

  • conduct legal analysis to support case strategy and client objectives;
  • draft legal documents, including correspondence, pleadings, affidavits, and settlement agreements;
  • work on and appear in District and High Court litigation matters, adjudications, arbitrations, mediations, and complex trials;
  • provide support and mentoring to junior lawyers within the litigation team;
  • stay abreast of changes in legislation, court decisions, and legal trends;
  • develop and maintain strong client relationships through effective communication and exceptional service.

You will also have the benefit of building close working relationships within the Litigation team and across the wider firm, where a culture of shared knowledge and expertise, development and mentoring is openly encouraged.

About You:

Ideally, you will have 5+ years post-qualification experience (PQE) of litigation and dispute resolution experience with exposure to various facets of this practice area, particularly insolvency, company, and property law.
