We are looking for a Lawyer to join our Trusts and Estates team.
At ARL Lawyers we are committed to removing barriers to understanding the law by demystifying legal processes and offering pragmatic solutions. Our four specialist teams, Commercial, Property, Dispute Resolution, and Trusts & Estates gives us a breadth of expertise rarely found in one firm.
At ARL we pride ourselves on "making it happen" for our clients while providing a supportive and collaborative environment for our colleagues.
The Opportunity
A great opportunity has become available for a Trusts and Estates Lawyer with at least three years of PQE who is looking to progress their career in a thriving practice. The role will allow you to work alongside a highly respected Consultant, Paul Logan, who has been with the firm for almost 30 years and has a huge depth of knowledge to pass on, as well as Jon Beck, an experienced Associate who spent 13 years in the UK before recently returning home to New Zealand.
This is an interesting and varied role dealing primarily with Trusts, Estates, Wills and Powers of Attorney. The team is supported by a large number of Legal Executives and secretaries, ensuring that you can focus your time and add value on the more challenging and contentious issues.
In addition, about 25% of your time will be spent on Commercial matters such as business sale & purchases, leasing as well as general commercial and company law.
You'll be surrounded by people who are truly passionate about their work and want to be here. This is a friendly and open-plan environment with a genuine sense of camaraderie.
About You
This role will suit a Trusts and Estates specialist, or a General Practitioner with some Trusts and Estates experience, who ideally has at least three years PQE (slightly less will still be considered). You will be provided with excellent support and mentorship from both Paul and Jon, further developing your legal skills.
In return you'll get the opportunity to work in a modern, family-friendly working environment only 20 minutes' drive from Wellington CBD, representing a firm that delivers a truly great service to our local community.
We are happy to consider flexible working arrangements and will offer a competitive remuneration package to secure the right person.
