Job description

About the Firm & Opportunity We are acting on behalf of a top-performing, full-service Auckland law firm (~43 staff) seeking a 3 - 6 year PQE Corporate & Commercial Solicitor to join their close-knit, highly regarded commercial team.
Following a recent team departure, a prime position has opened up for a "solid senior in the middle" to bridge the leadership team and two junior solicitors (1–2 PQE). You will work directly alongside two complementary Partners:
  1. Senior Advisory Partner (20+ Years Partner Experience): Specialising in high-level corporate governance, commercial contracts, IP, and strategic business advisory.
  2. Transactional Partner (10+ Years at Firm): Leading dynamic M&A transactions, corporate restructures, business acquisitions, and capital raises.
Work is shared based on capacity rather than firm silos, meaning you will enjoy a varied, well-rounded portfolio of both transactional M&A and ongoing corporate advisory work.
The Work & Representative Deals
  • Mid-Market Transactions: Lead and assist on high-value transactions, including $10M+ M&A acquisitions, joint ventures, asset purchases, and shareholder buyouts.
  • High-Value Advisory: Draft and negotiate complex commercial agreements, distribution networks, corporate restructures, and governance frameworks for mid-market NZ businesses and high-net-worth individuals.
  • Mentorship & File Ownership: Run your own files with direct partner backup while acting as a mentor to two junior solicitors (1–2 PQE).
  • Balanced Targets: Enjoy manageable, achievable daily targets (5.5 billable hours/day).
Culture & Benefits This firm is renowned for its fun, outgoing, and highly team-oriented environment:
  • Hybrid & Flexible Working: 1 day WFH per week + flexible start/finish times to suit your lifestyle.
  • Extra Leave: Birthday leave off + 5 weeks annual leave for Senior Associates.
  • Financial Rewards: Transparent bonus structure tied to fee performance.
  • Perks & Tech: Laptop, softphone, active social club, and parking options (pending seniority/availability).
About You
  • 3 to 6 years PQE in Corporate & Commercial law from a reputable law firm.
  • Confident managing commercial files, drafting complex agreements, and assisting with M&A/transactional workflows.
  • A collaborative, outgoing personality who thrives in a warm, low-ego, team-first environment.
