Our client is a well-established Wellington CBD practice that has a unique opportunity for a Senior Associate, Special Counsel or existing partner to step into a well-established firm that has a loyal and longstanding client base, to further the grow the practice in the insurance and commercial litigation space. You'll have the experience of other partners to support you in the role in terms of BD efforts and management. They're looking for someone that has a proven track record in resolving complex claims and coming from a reputable practice (those with relevant in-house experience will be considered also). 
 
What you need to succeed:

• 10+ years legal experience with solid experience in litigation work, with some experience resolving insurance related disputes;
• NZ qualified lawyer;
• Driven to be a leader and expert in your field; and
• Ability to mentor juniors.

A transferable client base is not needed but having networks in the insurance and corporate legal field would be. What's more important is your ability to maintain good relationships with clients, mentor junior staff members and contribute to the firm's existing positive working culture, as you grow your practice. 
  
You may be a partner that is looking to move into a practice with a better working environment and management or perhaps you're at a Senior Associate / Special Counsel level and feeling blocked from progression where you currently are. This is a firm with a sound reputation and infrastructure in place to support you in managing your client relationships and developing a high performing team. 
  
All enquiries and applications will be treated in strict confidence.
