About the role
Looking for a litigation role where you can work on genuinely interesting matters and learn from some of the most experienced practitioners in the field?
We’re working with a highly regarded specialist litigation and public law practice that is experiencing continued growth across its teams in New Zealand. This is an opportunity to work on a varied caseload involving litigation, regulatory enforcement and public law, acting for a broad range of government and statutory clients.
The nature of the client base means you’ll be exposed to matters that are often complex, high-profile and have wider implications beyond the parties involved. You’ll work closely with experienced litigators and have the opportunity to develop your technical expertise, advocacy skills and understanding of public law.
There is also genuine scope to take on greater responsibility as your experience develops. This opportunity would be best suited to litigators with at least 3-5 years' PQE.
Benefits
To be considered for this role, you will be a NZ admitted solicitor with at least 3-5 years' PQE in litigation and/or public law.
You may come from a civil, commercial, regulatory, public law or broader litigation background. What matters most is strong analytical ability, sound legal judgement and a genuine interest in developing your litigation and public law expertise.
You’ll be able to work through complex legal issues while keeping your advice practical and focused on achieving the best outcome for your client.
Strong communication and relationship-building skills are also important, as you’ll work closely with clients and colleagues across a range of matters.
An understanding of the public-sector environment and the principles that underpin government decision-making would be advantageous.
Culture
People enjoy working here because they have access to experienced lawyers who are genuinely invested in their development. The team combines high professional standards with a collaborative and supportive approach, creating an environment where lawyers can take on challenging work while having the guidance they need to succeed.
