Corporate & Commercial Lawyer

We are assisting a long-established Auckland law firm in their search for a capable Corporate & Commercial Lawyer. This is a rare opportunity to join a firm large enough to handle significant matters but small enough for you to have visibility, autonomy, and a clear path forward.

• Advising on employee share schemes, AML compliance, and consumer law
• Commercial property transactions, including leasing, sales and development

Why Consider This Role?

• Play a key part in the continued growth of a commercially strong, people-focused firm
• Excellent mentorship and direct partner access
• Client contact from day one across a mix of sectors and sizes
• Opportunity to broaden your practice into investment and property-related commercial work
• Balanced team culture that values initiative and collaboration
• Strong systems, quality tech, and a modern working environment

What You’ll Bring

• 3+ years PQE in corporate, commercial, or transactional law
• A commercial mindset and a pragmatic, solution-driven approach
• Strong drafting ability and confidence advising clients directly
• Ability to work independently while contributing to a cohesive team
