Senior Associate / Associate - Litigation

The Firm

This is a rare opportunity to join a leading international top-tier firm, recognised for its complex, high-value litigation work. The firm combines the resources and reach of a global practice with a supportive, collaborative culture. You will work on some of the most significant disputes in New Zealand and across the globe, with clear and structured pathways to advance your career.

The Team

You will join a highly regarded litigation group comprising four Partners (three in Auckland and one in Wellington). While reporting directly to one Partner, you will also work across the wider partnership on both domestic and international matters. The team also includes one Senior Associate, two Associates, and two Solicitors. Their work is particularly active in the FMCG and retail sectors, alongside broader commercial litigation.

The Role

The firm is seeking an Associate or Senior Associate with 3–10 years’ PQE to strengthen its litigation team. Senior candidates are especially encouraged to apply, as the team has strong demand for individuals who can provide leadership and mentoring to juniors. You will act on a wide range of high-profile disputes, including :

• Appeals against regulatory decisions on competition clearance of large-scale mergers
• Complex multi-party construction disputes
• Commercial property disputes, including restrictive covenants and caveats
• Cross-border trade mark enforcement matters
• Contractual disputes in large-scale commercial agreements
• Misleading and deceptive conduct claims in the retail and distribution sectors
• Insurance litigation, including remediation programmes and high-value recoveries

Given the international nature of the client base, some matters may require flexibility with time zones.
