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, relocation allowances, 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. 

Amongst others, a few of the roles are:

Sydney

• SA level Back-end Construction lawyer | large Aussie firm
• Global Markets/Securitisation lawyer | leading full service firm
• SA level Energy lawyer | leading full service firm
• Associate level litigation lawyer | leading full service firm
• Banking and finance lawyer, contract role for 4 months | med sized firm
• 3+ years PQE Solicitor/ SA level, Competition Lawyer | leading full service firm

Melbourne

• 3+ years PQE Solicitor/ SA level, Competition Lawyer | leading full service firm
• 3+ years PQE Corporate lawyer | leading full service firm

Brisbane

• 2-4 year and SA level (back-end) construction lawyer | large Aussie firm
• SA level Energy lawyer | leading full service firm

If these roles aren't quite right for you but you are interested to look at a move, reach out to hear more about how your background may suit the Australian market. The clients we're working with can provide for relocation packages / assistance, so that you are well-set up for the move. 

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.
