Job description
Ready for a change of scenery? This Nelson-based role is perfect for a Senior Lawyer looking for the next move in their legal career. Our client has decades of experience and local connections under their belt, a solid client base and a different approach than your old-fashioned, traditional law firm.
The role
As an addition to their general practice firm, we are looking to bring on a leader who is seeking a Director level role within a tight-knit firm where you’re more than a number, your voice is heard and you actually still have time for a life outside of work.
We’re on the hunt for a superstar in Property Law and Private Client work (wills, trusts, estates, EPOAs) – and if you have general commercial experience, that would be a bonus.
You might be a Senior Associate with aspirations of being a Partner / Director and ready for your next step, or someone already familiar with the role of leading a firm but looking for a more authentic fit for your values and lifestyle.
What’s on offer
Reach out to Liz Sloan for a confidential discussion at CoLegal Recruitment – liz@colegal.co.nz or 027 211 6718.
Looking for something different? I recruit for legal roles across the South Island so if you’re looking for a change, let’s have a chat about the market.

What’s on offer
- Wellbeing is a big focus (and commitment) of this firm. They are a team who work hard when they’re at work but believe it’s important to disconnect, put down the tools and focus on family and other priorities outside of hours.
- Flexibility and a collaborative team approach to work allows everyone to win – you get the flex you need around your lifestyle while the firm’s clients receive a great result
- A beautiful spot to call home – with beaches, cafes, wineries and walking trails on your doorstep!
