Job description

Experienced Commercial / Property Solicitor | Partnership Opportunity | Taupū

We are looking for an experienced commercial solicitor with a strong commercial and property experience who is ready for the next stage of their career and interested in a genuine pathway to partnership.

This is not simply another commercial law role. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with an established and substantial portfolio of commercial clients, across a broad range of commercial, business and property matters, providing a strong platform from which to build their practice and future within the firm.

The role will include a varied commercial practice, with work spanning commercial transactions, business matters and property, together with the opportunity to develop enduring relationships with both existing and new clients.

We are a dynamic and forward-thinking team. While we are proud of the strong relationships and reputation our practice has been built on, we are equally focused on where the profession is heading. We embrace developments in legal technology, including AI and other emerging tools, where they can help us work smarter, improve our systems and deliver an even better service to our clients.

We want someone who shares that outlook: an experienced lawyer who brings sound commercial judgement, strong commercial and conveyancing capability and excellent client relationships, but who is also open to new ideas and the continued evolution of legal practice.

Just as importantly, we are looking for the right person for Taupū.

We have built a successful firm around excellent client service, strong professional standards and a genuinely supportive workplace culture. We value our people and believe that a successful legal career should be compatible with having a life outside the office. We offer a collegial environment, work-life balance and the opportunity to build a rewarding career in one of New Zealand's most desirable places to live.

This position would particularly suit someone who:

• has strong commercial, business law and property experience;
• is confident advising on commercial property transactions and related conveyancing matters;
• is comfortable managing established client relationships and developing new ones;
• is commercially minded, practical and approachable;
• is interested in leadership and genuine partnership prospects;
• values a positive, supportive workplace culture;
• appreciates the importance of work-life balance; and
• genuinely wants to make Taupū home and become part of the local community.

For the right person, this represents a rare opportunity to step into an established commercial practice, work across quality commercial and commercial property matters, and build towards ownership and a long-term future within the firm.

If you are an experienced commercial lawyer looking for more than your next job, and the combination of partnership prospects, an established client portfolio and the Taupū lifestyle appeals to you, we would love to hear from you.
