The OpportunityWe are looking for a high performing 5+ PQE Senior Associate to join our highly successful Corporate & Commercial practice in January 2026. We'd love the successful candidate to be based in/around Christchurch, but we can be flexible for the right person.

You will work alongside a team of exceptional lawyers to deliver quality work and an exceptional experience to every client you interact with.
We act for an incredibly diverse client base, helping them with a broad range of needs including capital raising (Seed, Series A, Series B, and beyond), sale and purchase of businesses, employee incentive schemes, shareholder agreements, share buy-backs, business structuring, loans and corporate governance, as well as all general commercial law matters.
The Ideal Candidate- Experienced: At least 5 years of corporate and commercial law experience in a reputable law firm.
- Attentive: Brilliant attention to detail - nothing ever slips through the cracks.
- Efficient: Prioritises effectively, focuses on what matters and works productively.
- Commercial: Demonstrates business acumen and cares about business growth (including helping to grow LegalVision further).
- Collaborative: Gets a kick out of working with smart, fun and passionate people and learning from them.
- Adaptable: Grasps new concepts quickly, improves every day and goes with the flow.
- Service Orientated: Loves assisting clients and providing an amazing experience.
- Fast-paced environment with exciting growth opportunities.
- Talented, fun and supportive managers and team members.
- Annual budget to spend on external learning opportunities.
- Earn additional 'LV Leave' days, plus paid birthday leave, volunteering leave, and enhanced paid parental leave.
- Christchurch location, at least 3 days a week in the office (but we're willing to flex on this for the right candidate)
If this role sounds like it could be a great next step, we'd love to hear from you. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and will close once the role is filled, so apply early to avoid missing out.
A note to recruiters: we're all over this role, so there's no need for you to get in touch. LegalVision does not accept unsolicited CVs or responsibility for any fees related to unsolicited CVs. Thanks
