Solicitor or Senior Solicitor

Save job

Our client, Convex Legal, is seeking a Solicitor or Senior Solicitor to join their dynamic team in Wellington. They are a boutique general practice firm on a journey to become Wellington's premier Trust, Property and Commercial law firm for individuals and SMEs. They offer a unique blend of high-quality service, but at affordable rates, providing clients with the same level of service as larger firms but with a more personal touch. With a strong emphasis on solutions-focused advice, collaboration and teamwork, they provide a hardworking, but relaxed, fun environment where you can truly soak up knowledge and grow your career.

About this role | Mō tēnei tūranga mahi

You will deliver high-quality legal services to their diverse client base, helping individuals and business owners across property, business and life planning matters. You will be responsible for providing expert legal advice, reviewing and drafting various legal documents, and you will have many opportunities to work directly with clients. You will also handle new sales leads and network with other professionals. Your opinion will be valued here – expect open discussions and plenty of opportunities to learn through genuine access to experienced senior practitioners.

What you will bring | Ngā pūmanawatanga ōu

Convex Legal are looking for someone who, first and foremostly, fits their culture. This means you have a personality and "get" people and how to work with them – being a people person is a must (we'd love to see a bit of this in your job application). You will also bring:

  • 2-7 years PQE
  • They will consider varied legal backgrounds – for example, you could be in general practice, or in a top-tier team and want to make a change to a firm where you can have more control of your time and the way you work
  • Work independently while also being able to connect effectively with your team and clients
  • Tech-savviness to navigate document management systems with ease, contributing to the firm's commitment to automation and process improvement
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills – you’ll need to articulate complex legal concepts clearly
  • Committed to continuous learning and improvement, ready to soak up knowledge in this collaborative environment
  • Current Practising Certificate or eligibility to hold one

Convex Legal pride themselves on offering the same level of service and quality as larger firms but within a different market. They have a strong focus on collaboration and teamwork, providing an environment where you can truly learn and grow alongside seniors with large firm experience. They value the input of their team and are always seeking feedback on how to improve processes and systems. They use comparable technology to the top-tier!

At Convex Legal, you will have control over your time, allowing for a genuine work-life balance. They have offices in Wellington and Porirua and share them with their friends at Convex Accounting, which gives their small firm a bigger firm feel. Full-time and part-time will be considered.
