About you

You’re starting to think about coming home 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 a move to NZ, we are particularly interested in corporate/commercial and banking & finance 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.
   
Not ready to come back just yet? No problem! We are open to discussing long term plans, so still get in touch - even if you just want to have an exploratory chat.

For those returning, with prior NZ experience, we are interested in most practice areas.

One of our Partners will be in London in July and is happy to meet with anyone who would like to discuss opportunities. We’re happy to answer any questions you might have about life at Simpson Grierson and in NZ - please email our Recruitment Manager [email protected]
