About you
You’re starting to think about coming home to Aotearoa or are looking for an opportunity to start your life in NZ and advance your legal career. For those returning to NZ, we are interested in most practice areas. For those interested in migrating to NZ, we are particularly interested in Banking & Finance and Corporate/Commercial lawyers, with anywhere from 2-10 years’ PQE.
However if you’re keen to move, it’s worth getting in touch to discuss, whatever your level or area of expertise.
The process
We are an Immigration NZ Accredited Employer, which means we can hire migrants on the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV). There is a new, streamlined system in place for applications for AEWVs and we are finding the process is quick and simple, taking around a month.
For successful migrant applicants, we pay relocation costs and we pay for the requalification process in NZ, along with providing time off for study and exams as needed.
