Job description

Corporate / M&A Lawyer (3–6 PQE) – Leading National Firm – Auckland CBD

A premier national commercial law firm located in the heart of Auckland’s CBD.

Renowned for its top-tier Corporate / M&A practice , the firm advises leading New Zealand and international corporates, private equity funds, growth companies and listed entities on complex, high-value transactions. With a reputation for excellence, commercial acumen and a people-first culture, they deliver strategic, high-impact advice while maintaining a collaborative, down-to‑earth working environment.

Partners are visible, hands‑on and deeply invested in developing their team, offering high-quality work without the long-hours culture often associated with top-tier transactional practices.

About The Role :

You will join a high-performing corporate team working across a broad range of transactions and strategic advisory matters, including :

  • Managing workstreams on public and private M&A , joint ventures and restructurings
  • Supporting private equity and venture capital investments
  • Providing general corporate advisory on the Companies Act, governance and shareholder issues
  • Drafting and negotiating key transaction documents - SPAs, SHAs, subscription and JV agreements
  • Conducting due diligence and assisting with transaction execution
  • Collaborating with partners, clients and stakeholders to deliver commercially sound solutions
  • Mentoring junior lawyers where appropriate
  • Maintaining strong client relationships and delivering timely, accurate advice

You’ll be given real responsibility from the outset, with meaningful access to partners and clients.

Skills & Experience :

  • NZ-qualified lawyer with 3–6 years’ PQE in corporate, commercial or M&A
  • Solid experience with transactional documents and deal execution
  • Strong commercial judgement, communication and drafting skills
  • Ability to manage multiple deadlines in a dynamic, deal-driven environment
  • Ambitious, proactive and eager to progress within a respected corporate team
  • Competitive top-of-market salary package
  • Clear progression pathway with structured professional development
  • Hybrid working with genuine flexibility
  • Exposure to major domestic and cross-border transactions
  • Supportive, social culture with regular events and team initiatives
  • Modern CBD offices with a collaborative, high-performing environment
  • How To Apply :
