Christchurch Lawyer Opportunities

Save job

About this role | Mō tēnei tūranga mahi We are working with a few Christchurch Law firms who have immediate requirements and would consider 2- 3 year relocation for Wellington lawyers or from other regions. There’s actually a lot happening in the legal space in Christchurch. With the city continuing to grow and develop, there is strong demand across employment, environment commercial, property, litigation.

Our clients have a broad range of opportunities looking for lawyers 1 - 6yrs in these areas of law and can offer relocation assistance and potential pathways back to Wellington for those with a national presence.

Christchurch offers balanced lifestyle—plenty happening in the city, but without the big-city pressure. You still get the café culture, events - new stadiums, creative energy, but with shorter commutes, more space, and (let’s be honest) better parking!

One of the big things people notice is how close everything is. You can head to the beach before work or be in the mountains by the weekend. And if you're into the outdoors at all, it's kind of a dream—skiing, hiking, biking, all within an hour or so.
