3 weeks ago


Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand Fluid Recruitment Full time

About the Firm

 

Fluid Legal Recruitment is delighted to partner with Saunders & Co in a search for a motivated future leader to continue building on the strengths and capabilities of their Wigram office, alongside a dedicated team.

Saunders & Co is a full-service Christchurch firm with both a CBD office and three suburban branches serving a broad range of clients, from private individuals and families to large companies, statutory bodies, and local iwi.

About this Role

This unique opportunity is for a Senior Associate-level lawyer (5+ years PQE) to lead, mentor, and drive a small team with hands-on support from Supervising Partners David Lang and Jeremy Bull and the wider leadership team.

Whilst essential to have a demonstrable background in commercial property and private client, a passion for other legal areas like commercial, relationship property, trust, and/or estates will ensure success in this role.

The ability to bring a client-base or practice would be fantastic but is not a dealbreaker.

What sets this role apart is the opportunity to eventually lead the branch and mentor existing staff members, setting the tone and culture for the rest of the team through personality and energy.

You'll be the face of the business to the local community, immersing yourself among businesses and key stakeholders in the vicinity.

You'll participate in marketing activities as directed and develop new business/clients where opportunities arise.

Your salary and billables will align with responsibilities, ensuring a well-rounded and balanced role.

 

**Salary**: $120,000 - $150,000 per annum

 

Job Description:

We're seeking an ambitious lawyer to join our Christchurch branch. As a Senior Associate, you'll lead a small team, mentoring and driving growth while working closely with our Supervising Partners.

You'll have a strong background in commercial property and private client law, but we also value your enthusiasm for other areas like commercial, relationship property, trusts, and estates.

Your role will involve leading the branch, mentoring staff, and participating in marketing activities. You'll be the face of the business in the local community and work closely with key stakeholders.

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, aligned with your responsibilities. This is an excellent opportunity to grow your career and contribute to our firm's success.

 

Benefits:

We offer a modern, non-hierarchical culture with an open-door policy to partners and management. Our generous salary and benefits package are dependent on experience.

We prioritize a healthy work-life balance, avoiding long hours in favor of achievable revenue targets and billable hours.

This is a fantastic stepping-stone opportunity for those with partnership aspirations, offering a unique chance to embed yourself in the local community while creating a high-performance environment.

 

Others:

This is a fantastic opportunity to take your career to the next level, working with a successful Christchurch firm. If you're looking for a challenging role that offers a great work-life balance, we'd love to hear from you.
