Shape futures. Grow yours. Live here.

At Aspiring Law, we’re more than a law firm. We’re a community practice that exists to help people move forward – whether that’s building businesses, investing in property, or achieving personal aspirations. Every interaction we have is about reducing stress, cutting through the jargon, and making the law work seamlessly for our clients. Here, you’ll be part of a supportive, future-focused team – doing challenging, diverse work in an exciting growth market, as well as being in a place that allows you to truly live well.

What makes this opportunity exciting

You’ll take a lead role in guiding clients through some of the most important steps in their journey – from big commercial property projects and developments to subdivisions, financing, leasing and high-end residential deals. It’s interesting, meaningful work where your expertise helps people move forward with confidence.

Beyond your day-to-day client work, you’ll have the chance to take on a leadership role – mentoring junior lawyers and legal executives, supporting training across the firm, and helping guide the direction of our practice. You’ll also be encouraged to connect with the community and contribute to business development alongside our Business Development Manager. This is a real opportunity to grow your career, make an impact, and be recognised as a trusted adviser in a friendly, thriving firm.

What you’ll love about Aspiring Law

Get the best of both worlds : a close-knit team in Wanaka, with the resources of a firm spanning Arrowtown, and two practices in Christchurch. The work is diverse, the team is collaborative, and the mentoring is second-to-none. We back our people to grow, embrace innovation to make practice seamless, and we’re based in one of the most stunning locations in the world – where life balance isn’t just lip service, it’s reality.

About you

You’re smart, collaborative and motivated by helping others succeed. You have proven experience in property and commercial law, a sharp eye for detail, and a commitment to delivering excellent outcomes for clients in a way that feels accessible and stress‑free.
