  • Commercial and company law
  • Property law and conveyancing (including residential, rural, and commercial)
  • Trusts and estate planning and wills

Woodward Chrisp has invested heavily in its support team to handle day-to-day conveyancing work, allowing the chosen candidate to focus on more complex and interesting files and drive their legal career forward.

The client base consists of long-standing high-caliber individuals and organizations, encompassing many of Gisborne's major industries, including horticulture, viticulture, forestry, and agriculture.

Candidates will have the flexibility to broaden their expertise as the firm encourages them to explore and gain experience in various areas of law alongside core responsibilities, ensuring a well-rounded professional development.

Key benefits of this role include a unique combination of leading, growing, and shaping your legal practice while enjoying the enviable lifestyle that Gisborne has to offer, including surfing, beaches, cycling, and wineries.

Additionally, you'll have access to a unique annual bonus designed to boost your earnings, along with manageable billable hour and budget expectations.
