Job description

The role
It’s not often that such a unique opportunity comes up that offers a clear path to Director! Our client is a well-established law firm with decades of experience and local connections under their belt, a solid client base and a different approach than your old-fashioned, traditional law firm. Based in beautiful Nelson, this is an opportunity to relocate to a place where the commute is minimal, the beaches and wineries are close by and the National Park is on your doorstep!

As an addition to their general practice firm they 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) – and if you have general commercial experience, that would be a bonus (but not a deal breaker).

What’s on offer
  • Wellbeing is a big focus (and commitment) of this firm. They are a team who work hard but also 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!
If you’re an ambitious leader and want to take the next step in your career in one of the South Island’s most beautiful locations, let’s have a chat about this role.
