Job description

Working with a Corporate partner with strong commercial acumen and a top tier background, you will be able to receive strong one on one partner mentoring in top work. Our client is a trusted advisor to international multi-national businesses to growing kiwi organisations and entrepreneurial clients. They advise clients through different stages of business growth, their M&A deal work (a good portion of the work), joint venture arrangements, shareholder agreements and capital raising work. Their clients span a diverse range of industry sectors and the firm benefits from a flatter structure with partners so you can have a good level of involvement in the work you do and chance to contribute value throughout a deal or matter.

The firm has a modern working culture, flexibility and a culture conducive to ongoing training and development, encouraging business development and personal growth. There is definitely room for quick career progression if you show aptitude as the team is looking to grow further.

About you:
  • 6+ years solid Corporate legal experience;
  • Experience gained in a top tier firm or highly regarded Corporate team where you've had some M&A experience;
  • An interest in learning and continuing to grow your Corporate legal career;
  • NZ qualified; and
  • Good academics.
Perhaps you're wanting to move from a large firm/team to a flatter structured environment that is still well-supported with other lawyers in the team or you'd like to move into an environment where you feel valued and rewarded for your contributions.

NZ qualified lawyers looking to return from overseas are encouraged to apply.
