Job description

I’m currently recruiting for a leading commercial firm seeking a Litigation Lawyer or Associate to join their well-regarded Litigation Team. This is a strategic hire, driven by a strong pipeline of work and several high-value matters secured well into the future, including a major High Court proceeding. You’ll be joining a well-structured, supportive team that offers both complexity and stability in its workflow.

About the Opportunity
This team specialises in civil litigation and dispute resolution within the Projects space. You’ll be working directly with a highly regarded partner on complex and high-profile cases involving:
  • Liquidation and insolvency
  • Valuation-related disputes
  • Defective buildings
  • Treaty settlement matters
Who We’re Looking For
  • NZ Qualified & admitted solicitor
  • 2-5 years’ PQE in civil or commercial litigation
  • Strong drafting and analytical skills
  • Confidence managing files with appropriate supervision
  • A collaborative, pragmatic approach
  • Experience in construction or large-scale disputes is a bonus, but not essential
What’s on Offer
This is an excellent opportunity to be involved in complex, high-stakes litigation in a firm known for its calibre of work, great internal culture, and clear progression pathways. You’ll also benefit from working closely with experienced litigators who are genuinely invested in mentoring and team development.

The firm is looking to move quickly on this role. If this sounds like something you’d like to explore, feel free to reach out for a confidential chat.
