About the firm and role
This is an exciting opportunity for a junior or intermediate level RM lawyer to work in a leading specialist team. This is a chance to be involved in work that will be working for a firm that has modern systems, a well-supported and friendly team and where you'll be mentored across a variety of work. The work is to a high standard and you'll learn from the industry bests. Working with a broad range of public and private sector clients including government agencies, community groups and large international and domestic corporates.
In this role, you'll work with partners in matters before the Environment Court, mediations and appeal stages. There will also be some strategy and advisory work but it will be a chance to hone your advocacy skills if you enjoy doing some litigious work. You'll be involved in resource consenting and planning matters, enforcement matters, judicial review decisions, public law matters and infrastructure related project work.
About you
The ideal candidate will have:
- 1+ years' PQE within a well regarded resource management and/or environment and planning team or general litigation skills, or skills gained in-house in public law / RMA with a keen interest to transfer your skills into the RMA area;
- Some working knowledge of the resource management legislative framework (ideally you studied this paper at uni);
- Good academics in law with a B average or above ideally;
- An interest in further developing your career as a resource management lawyer.
Perhaps you're reflecting on where you're headed for 2026 and thinking about a move to a practice where you can be mentored, or you're looking to work in a specialist RMA team, or a place that has a structure and quality work that will allow you grow to take your career to the next level - if this sounds like you, then get in touch to find out more.
Those with experience in a relevant area from the public or in-house sector, or someone returning from Australia or the UK with relevant experience, are also of interest.
