About the opportunity:

New Plymouth has a lot to offer, from art trails, festivals, beaches, award-winning galleries as well as a thriving café culture. If you're in a bigger city and thinking about a change in pace where you can lower your costs of living, commute times but still want to be able to progress your career, then this opportunity is worth considering. 

This is a unique opportunity to join a modern and well established legal practice in the New Plymouth region where you'd work with small and medium sized businesses, individual employees, high net worth execs, local government clients and commercial clients. 

You would work across a broad range of employment law matters, advising both employee and employer clients on issues including workplace investigations and disciplinary matters, restructuring and redundancies, medical incapacity, PG claims, workplace bullying and discrimination as well as privacy and health and safety.
 
About you:

• 5+ years solid experience in the employment law area within a law firm or a company (if employment law forms part of a general litigation or in-house ER / HR background that will be considered also);
• NZ qualified lawyer with good drafting and client relationship management skills;
• Experience in mediations and hearings would be ideal;
• A high standard of written and verbal communication skills.

This is a great lifestyle option as well as career opportunity that does not come by often. NZ qualified lawyers looking to return from overseas, with relevant experience will be of interest also. Get in touch to find out more. 
 
All applications will be treated with confidence.
