Mō te Tūranga - About the role
This is an exciting opportunity for junior lawyers who are looking to develop a career in cutting-edge advice work and litigation while contributing to the broader community.

Our senior counsel will provide you with guidance and support across a diverse range of matters while you gain practical legal experience.
