The Opportunity: 

The firm now has a unique opportunity for a Lawyer with 3+ years experience in public law and regulatory related work to join its public law team. Working with a Partner that has a wealth of knowledge within the public sector, you will have the right amount of access to support and mentorship as well as the opportunity to take the lead on some matters and more complex matters as you progress in the role. Working with clients across a range of sectors including telecommunication, aviation and energy, the work will range from providing regulatory and strategic advice to corporates that operate in heavily regulated industries as well as assisting government and public entities on policy law reform and parliament on its processes. 

About you:

• An interest in learning and applying your knowledge and skill set within Public Law context;
• NZ qualified; and
• Good academics (B average or higher in your degree LLB). 

You may be working for a public sector entity and keen to take your skills into a firm where you can be involved in varied and interesting public law work but where there is room to grow and develop your technical legal skills. Likewise, you may be working in a regulatory, corporate or public law litigation role and want to transfer your skills across to this specialist team.
