Job description

Senior Property Legal Executive (Conveyancing)

My client is seeking an experienced senior conveyancing operator who can confidently manage files from start to finish. They're looking for someone with sound judgement, a proactive and personable approach, and a genuine growth mindset - someone who wants to help build something rather than simply fill a seat.

You’ll need to be comfortable with technology and AI and willing to embrace modern systems, which are genuinely cutting edge. A Fellow of NZILE would be preferred where possible, particularly as this assists with witnessing requirements. If not a Fellow, they are open to a senior Registered Legal Executive who is eligible and willing to work towards Fellowship.

Why choose this over a bigger firm?

• Real autonomy. You’ll have ownership of your files and client relationships, with nobody sitting between you and the client.

• Dedicated support from day one. You’ll have an assistant to take care of administration, allowing you to focus on the legal work and your clients.

• Cutting‑edge systems. AI is fully integrated throughout the business using Claude and various customisations. Those coming from more traditional, paper‑heavy firms tend to notice the difference immediately.

• Variety in the work. Sale, purchase and refinance work is the core of the practice, but there are also opportunities across commercial leasing, subdivisions, development, overseas investors, high‑net‑worth individuals and trusts.

• Uncapped earning potential. The 10% commission is uncapped, which we expect is unusual for a legal executive role. It reflects the firm’s growth mindset and its vision for where the NZ legal sector is heading.

• Room to grow beyond conveyancing delivery. Over time, there is scope to move into supervision, business functions and a broader remit. As a small firm that is growing quickly, there is genuinely an opportunity for someone who wants to become part of the business and help shape its future rather than simply remain in a delivery role.

The Opportunity

Join a growing Auckland law firm where you’ll have genuine autonomy, strong support and the opportunity to play an important role in the continued growth of the property practice.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Property Legal Executive who is confident managing conveyancing files end to end and is looking for more than a traditional delivery role. You’ll have the freedom to manage your own clients, dedicated administrative support and the opportunity to work across a varied range of property matters, while also benefiting from advanced technology and AI systems.

If you’re an experienced conveyancing professional looking for a role where you can make a real impact, build strong client relationships and grow alongside the business, we’d love to hear from you.
