About the Firm:
Our client is a well-established law firm with a long history of providing legal support within the Canterbury region. Like many firms in Christchurch, they've recently made a move into new premises and offer a great location within the CBD. This full service firm works across various areas of law and are now looking to hire a Senior Property Solicitor to lead their Property team.
  
The Role: 
We are looking for a skilled senior Solicitor with expertise in property and conveyancing law with a minimum of 4 years of experience working in New Zealand Property law. Key responsibilities will include:

• Leading a team to work collaboratively and provide the best outcomes and results for their clients
• Handling residential and commercial property transactions, including sales, purchases, and leases
• Advising on subdivision and development agreements
• Maintaining regulatory compliance
• Developing and mentoring a team of junior lawyers and support staff

This is a full time opportunity with a clear structure for progression including a pathway to partnership down the line (if desired). Property and conveyancing experience is a must, but we are open to someone who also wants to explore other areas of law in conjunction with this and there is room to grow and expand your skills within the firm. 
  
About You:

• Qualified Solicitor with a current New Zealand practising certificate
• 4+ years of recent experience in property and conveyancing law
• Strong knowledge of New Zealand property law and conveyancing processes
• Someone who enjoys developing and mentoring junior staff members

This mid-sized firm is professional but down-to-earth, love to have a laugh and ambitiously work to be the best for themselves and their clients. We are looking for someone with the same level of drive - while they pride themselves on no over time hours required, we do want someone who aims for excellence and wants to do their best work. 
  
What’s On Offer:

• Competitive salary 
• Modern offices within the CBD
• Carpark / carparking allowance
• Southern Cross Health Insurance
• Birthday leave
• Work / life balance
• Clear progression structures + pathway to partnership
