Join one of New Zealand’s leading real estate teams at Simpson Grierson, part of the country’s largest infrastructure practice. Our specialists work across the full spectrum of property and infrastructure matters, advising on some of New Zealand’s most significant and complex projects.

We are looking for an intermediate property lawyer with 3+ years' PQE to join our national Real Estate Practice Group, working from our Wellington office.  You’ll work on a broad range of matters, including property development, commercial leasing, subdivisions, and the acquisition and disposal of commercial property, supporting both public and private sector clients across Aotearoa New Zealand.
