Senior Associate

At Aspiring Law, we’re on a mission to change the way people think about lawyers - and maybe even how you feel about being one.

We serve our communities with heart and purpose, building real relationships with clients who are often neighbours and friends. Inside our team, you’ll find trust, autonomy, and support – no micromanaging, no egos.

With offices in vibrant Christchurch and the stunning Queenstown Lakes District, this is your chance to grow your career in one of New Zealand’s most spectacular regions and genuinely love your work.

In this role, you’ll lead high-impact property and commercial projects, mentor rising talent, and help shape the future of our practice. But more than that, you’ll be part of a firm built around people – not billable hours.

You will guide 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.

You’ll also have a leadership role – mentoring junior lawyers and legal executives, supporting training across the firm, and helping guide the direction of our practice. This is a real opportunity to grow your career, do quality work, make an impact, and be recognised as a trusted adviser in a friendly, thriving firm.

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.
