Legal Secretary - Litigation & Civil Disputes (Part-Time)

About the Firm

Fluid is excited to support our client, a leading commercial firm in Canterbury, in their search for a high-performing and motivated Legal Administrator to join their growing Christchurch-based litigation team.

The firm is always looking to improve its processes and deliver top-quality legal services while genuinely supporting its people.

Their collaborative, forward-thinking approach includes strong flexible-working policies and a well-being program designed to help staff thrive.

With a welcoming, positive culture at its heart, this is a role that offers both professional growth and a genuinely supportive work environment.

About the Role

In this role, you'll be an integral part of the administrative team, providing direct support to multiple authors across high-calibre files - primarily in civil disputes, litigation, and related matters.

You'll work closely with colleagues on projects across the region, including property development, compliance, and sustainability initiatives, while contributing to the high standard of service the firm delivers to clients.

The team frequently interacts with local government, policymakers, and other key stakeholders.

Your day-to-day will involve preparing and collating documentation, managing files, supporting the team, and helping partners manage their workflows and client base.

You'll have access to advanced systems and tools that make work smoother, giving you the space to add real value.

This role also offers flexibility, with potential for reduced hours and work-from-home options for the right candidate.

About You

This role is perfect for someone looking to specialise their legal administrative experience in the resource management and advisory space, while being part of a high-performing, friendly team.

You may come from a property, commercial, or litigation background and have some exposure to local government or policy work.

Even if you have minimal experience but a genuine interest in this area, we'd love to hear from you.

You might be a local looking for a fresh professional challenge, or relocating to the Canterbury region and ready to make your mark quickly among a like-minded community.

Please note :

2+ years of NZ experience in a practicing law firm is essential.
