Job description

Our client has a well-established litigation team that operates across complex commercial, public, regulatory, insurance and insolvency related disputes. They are looking to hire a talented senior litigation lawyer with solid litigation experience, sound drafting and advocacy skills that is looking to take the next step in their career. 

If you're someone who enjoys a varied litigation role, where you can be immersed from start to finish on complex litigation files then this could be the role for you. You'll be able to be involved in High Court litigation matters, adjudications, arbitrations and complex trials as part of this role working partners in the disputes team of a reputable full-service firm. You’ll also have the chance to mentor junior lawyers in the team and play a key role as lead counsel on a variety of interesting disputes matters.

About you:
  • 6+ years' PQE in litigation (a broad mix of civil and commercial litigation experience would suit and some public law experience is desirable);
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills with an ability to cut through issues and problem solve;
  • A good academic record; and
  • Experience gained in a reputable firm - ideally a large firm or boutique litigation practice.
Perhaps you're looking for greater autonomy in your role or a place that can offer a pathway to progress or to step into a high performing team where you can add value to the team and help mentor juniors. Whichever the case, get in touch, to discuss this opportunity further.

NZ qualified lawyers with relevant experience returning from overseas will be of interest too.
