Tauranga, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand Tompkins Wake Full time NZ$80,000 - NZ$120,000 per year

Location: Rotorua or Tauranga

The Role

We're looking for an experienced Property Associate or Senior Associate to join our market-leading Property team, working across our Bay of Plenty offices in Rotorua and Tauranga. 

In this role, you'll work with a diverse client base, including property developers, investors, local government and private clients, providing advice on a wide range of property transactions, trusts, asset protection and estate planning. You'll manage your own files and clients, report to partners, and, depending on your experience, take on supervision and delegation responsibilities. This is a mid-to-senior level position with strong progression prospects for the right person.

What You'll Bring

  • At least 4 years' PQE in property and private client law.
  • Experience managing a range of property transactions and client relationships.
  • Expertise across conveyancing, trusts, estate planning, and asset protection.
  • Strong drafting, communication, and problem-solving skills.
  • The ability to work independently with sound commercial judgment.
  • Experience mentoring junior lawyers or supporting team development is a plus.
  • Local government or Māori trust experience would be an advantage, but is not essential.

Our Property Team (including Private Client) works incredibly well together and enjoys collaborating with other teams in the firm across all our offices.

About Us

At Tompkins Wake, we take pride in our achievements and celebrate them often. With offices in Tauranga, Rotorua, Auckland, and Hamilton, we work with clients across New Zealand to deliver exceptional results.

Our Commitment

We're dedicated to fostering an environment where everyone is valued. Diversity and inclusion are a natural part of our identity. Our Rainbow Tick certification and active participation in the New Zealand Law Society Gender Equality Charter are just two examples of our belief in the power of varied perspectives.

What we offer

We celebrate success, support each other and believe work should be both challenging and enjoyable. You'll be part of a firm that's serious about your development, with access to tools, resources and mentoring to help you thrive.

If you're ready to take the next step in your career and want to be part of a firm that values technical excellence, collaboration, and growth, apply now to join our Rotorua or Tauranga team.
