About the role

Ready for a change of pace and a fresh professional challenge? This is a rare opportunity for a NZ-qualified senior lawyer (8+ years PQE) to relocate to Auckland and join a well-established suburban firm that offers genuine flexibility, a warm team culture, and a clear pathway to partnership.

Whether you're currently based in a regional centre or rural town, this role offers the chance to step into a leadership position, work with high-quality clients, and enjoy the lifestyle benefits of Auckland, without the CBD grind.

Why Make the Move?

• Career progression without CBD pressure
• Relocation allowance available for the right candidate
• Flexible working arrangements to suit your lifestyle
• Supportive, down-to-earth team culture
• Autonomy to shape your role and practice
• Clear pathway to partnership
• Diverse client base including franchises, medical centres, international banks, SMEs, and F&B businesses

What We’re Looking For:

• NZ-qualified and admitted, with a current practising certificate (or ability to obtain one)
• 8+ years’ experience in one or more of the following areas:
  • Banking & Finance
  • Residential & Commercial Property
  • Asset Protection
  • Business Sales & Purchases
  • Commercial Leasing
  • Succession Planning
  • Property Developments & Subdivisions
  • Trusts & Legal Entity Structures
  • Wills & Estates
• Commercially minded with an understanding that law is a business
• Comfortable with business development and networking
• Entrepreneurial spirit and a collaborative approach

Having your own client base is a bonus, but not essential. What matters most is your drive to build strong relationships and contribute meaningfully to a growing practice.

This is a confidential opportunity to join a firm that values people, purpose, and potential. If you’re ready to take the next step and want to be part of something special, we’d love to hear from you.

The firm is open to conversations with existing partners seeking a succession-aligned move into a collaborative, suburban Auckland practice.
