THE OPPORTUNITY

Join Buddle Findlay’s leading corporate and commercial team in Wellington and work alongside some of New Zealand’s top legal talent. You will join a high-performing team led by partners Renee Stiles , Amy Ryburn , and Rupert Rouch where you will work on impactful matters and build strong relationships with dynamic, influential clients. You will have 3-6 years PQE and be looking for your next career opportunity within our top tier commercial law firm.

WHAT MATTERS TO US

We’re looking for someone with a genuine commitment to delivering high-quality, client-focused advice, who thrives in a collaborative environment and is passionate about excellence in corporate and commercial law. We value integrity, initiative, and a willingness to contribute to our team’s and firm’s ongoing success and reputation.

ABOUT US

Buddle Findlay is a leading commercial law firm with three offices, 46 partners, and over 300 people. Collaboration is at our core. You will feel valued, connected, and supported. We’re committed to quality in everything we do and to empowering our people to achieve extraordinary results for our client.

THE ROLE

As a valued member of our team, you’ll be trusted to support and lead complex legal work across a broad spectrum of corporate and commercial work. You’re a collaborative team player who thrives on building strong client relationships and lifting those around you, but you’re equally comfortable taking full ownership of files and delivering high‑quality, commercially focused advice independently. You influence outcomes with clear, confident communication and sound judgement, mentor junior lawyers with patience and pragmatism, and act with integrity, resilience and a solutions‑orientated mindset.
