- Diverse and loyal client base offering interesting work
- Collaborative, supportive and progressive environment
- Excellent work/life balance and competitive remuneration package
Wakefields Lawyers is an innovative law firm specialising in property, commercial, family, trusts and estates and employment law with offices in Wellington, Paraparaumu, Waikanae, Otaki, Levin and Foxton.
We are dedicated to delivering our clients excellent legal solutions whilst offering our staff the flexibility and autonomy they need to achieve a great work/life balance. We are passionate about fostering a positive and collaborative working environment and offering all staff ongoing opportunities for professional development.
Coming towards the end of the year, we are as busy as ever and we are looking forward to an even busier 2026. To cope with the growing workload, there is a pressing need for a junior/ intermediate solicitor to come on board and quickly become an integral member of the team. This person will be primarily based out of our Otaki office but may spend some time across a number of the other offices.
To be suitable for this role, you should have between two and five years’ experience, ideally gained from another private practice law firm. Although some experience in residential conveyancing would be useful, the diet of work consists mainly of private client, general commercial and relationship property matters. You will be supervised by two very experienced practitioners who will give you all of the autonomy that you need at this important stage in your career while always maintaining an ‘open door’ approach.
This is a fantastic opportunity for you to build on the excellent grounding that you have received to date in an environment where you will be given the freedom to flourish and take your career to the next level.
To apply for this role, you must hold a current NZ Practising Certificate or be eligible to obtain one.
This role is not suitable for recent graduates or candidates.
If you love what you do and want to join a progressive and supportive team for 2026 and beyond, then Wakefields Lawyers is the place for you.
