Job description
The Company:
This firm is located in the Christchurch CBD, has a great reputation in the industry and high staff retention. A full-service firm, their key point of difference is their ability to adapt to new ways of working in the legal field, including using new technology and upgrading systems and processes. They take an agile and modern approach to work, adding flexibility into the 9-5 to optimise work/life balance.
The Role:
A unique opportunity has come up for a Legal Executive with a strong foundation in property and conveyancing law but an interest in having more variety in their day-to-day legal career. You might be a Legal Executive who specialises in property but also has experience in estates or commercial law (for example). We are open to looking at what the mix of work would be, but we’re looking for someone who likes that kind of variety and is agile and adaptable to the workflow coming in.
About you:
This opportunity would suit a Legal Executive who already has a mix of skills across different areas of law. However, if you have strong property experience but would like more variety and are open to being trained up in other areas, we want to hear from you too!
The benefits of this opportunity:
For a confidential chat about this role, please contact Liz Sloan at CoLegal Recruitment – liz@colegal.co.nz or 027 211 6718.
