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.

  • 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.

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.
