Australian Legal Opportunities | Solicitors

Job description

We are partnering with leading firms across Australia that are actively hiring experienced NZ qualified lawyers. These roles offer strong remuneration, high-quality work, and genuine career progression. Unlike London, you won’t need to requalify, and the Australian market continues to show strong demand for lawyers. You’ll also gain exposure to international work while staying closer to home.

Key practice areas in demand include:
  • Planning & Environment Lawyer | 2-4 PQE | Act for both public and private sector clients on diverse and meaningful matters.
  • Securitisation Lawyer | 6+ PQE | Join a market-leading team handling complex and high-profile transactions.
  • TMT Associate / Senior Associate | 3+ PQE | Work with global clients on cutting-edge tech matters and cross-border projects.
  • Corporate M&A Senior Associate | 6+ PQE | Advise on significant transactions alongside highly regarded partners.
  • Transport Insurance (Marine/Aviation) | 2-4 PQE | Build your expertise in a specialised area with clear career pathways.
If you’re a NZ qualified lawyer considering an overseas move, now is the time to explore your options. For those returning from the UK, we can help you weigh up the differences between the NZ and Australian markets and what each can offer your career.

Our clients are offering relocation packages and tailored support to make your transition as smooth as possible.
