Job description

We are partnering with firms across various locations in Australia who are actively hiring for experienced NZ qualified lawyers, with the ability to offer a strong remuneration package, quality work as well as career progression. While the London market is still recovering, a move to Australia means you don't need to requalify and there is still a healthy level of demand for lawyers where you can get exposure to international work. 

Key practice areas experiencing demand include: 
  • Corporate, M&A, JVs, investments | $20-$500 mill | 5+ years PQE | Senior Associate
  • Technology & Commercial Lawyer | 5+ years Senior Associate | No billing targets, a team with strong retention. 
  • Insurance Litigation | + years PQE | Leading international team
  • Competition & Consumer  Lawyers | 4+ years PQE | International practice
  • Front-end Construction & Major Projects Lawyer | 3+ years PQE
If you're a NZ qualified lawyer that would like to start forward planning for a move overseas, now is the time to get in touch to hear what your options are in the market and what salaries look like for your background. Likewise, if you're thinking of a return from the UK and are deciding between NZ and Australia, we can help inform you of the differences between the legal markets in each jurisdiction.

The clients we're working with can provide for relocation packages / assistance, so that you are well-set up for the move.
