• Roles can be in any of our offices in Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch
• Great professional and personal development within a supportive team
• Award-winning inclusive culture

Simpson Grierson is one of New Zealand’s leading law firms, with a strong reputation for excellence, collaboration and putting people first. Due to continued growth, we are looking for talented corporate and commercial lawyers to join our high-performing team across our Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch offices.

Our Corporate team is busy, ambitious and well-integrated, working on high-profile, market-leading matters for an impressive client base. This is a great opportunity to be part of a supportive environment where quality work, autonomy and career progression genuinely go hand in hand.

We’re keen to hear from motivated lawyers with 2-6 years’ relevant experience. Your background might include some (or many) of the following: M&A, business restructuring, capital markets, public takeovers, private equity transactions, commercial contracting, joint ventures, infrastructure investment and regulatory work.   Whatever your mix of experience, if you’re looking to fast-track your development and build a standout practice, we’d love to talk.

You’ll enjoy a varied workload and exposure to excellent quality work, while working closely with partners and senior lawyers who are leaders in their field. There’s real scope here to shape your career, develop a strong professional profile and take advantage of genuine progression opportunities.
About you: you’ll bring a strong work ethic, a positive and collaborative approach, and confidence in your technical ability. You’ll be a capable negotiator with excellent drafting skills, and someone who enjoys building trusted relationships — both with clients and with colleagues. As your career develops, you’ll have opportunities to mentor and support others, while growing your leadership capability.

We’re committed to supporting your professional and personal development, with a wide range of learning and development opportunities available. We also actively promote flexibility and are happy to talk with you about what you need to make your role work.

At Simpson Grierson, we’re proud of our inclusive, diverse culture and our innovative environment of excellence. We value our people and are committed to creating a workplace where you can do your best work and thrive.
