Senior Associate

Details of the offer

About the Firm Fluid Legal Recruitment are delighted to be partnering with Saunders & Co, as we undertake a search for a motivated future leader to continue building on the strengths and capabilities of their successful Wigram office, alongside a friendly, dedicated team. Saunders & Co are a full-service Christchurch firm with both a CBD office and three suburban branches where they service a broad range of clients, ranging from private individuals and families through to large companies, statutory bodies and local iwi. About this role This is a unique opportunity for a Senior Associate-level lawyer (5+ years PQE) to lead, mentor, and drive a small team with hands-on support from the current Supervising Partner(s) David Lang and Jeremy Bull and wider leadership team. Whilst it's essential to have a demonstrable background in commercial property and private client, beyond that a passion for a range of other legal areas including commercial, relationship property, trust and/or estates will see you succeed in this role. The ability to bring a client-base or practice with you would be fantastic but this is by no means a dealbreaker. What sets this role apart from others however is the opportunity to eventually lead the branch and mentor the existing staff members, as well as setting the tone and culture for the rest of the team through your personality and energy. Furthermore, you will be the face of the business to the local community, immersing yourself amongst businesses and key stakeholders within the immediate vicinity. You will also participate in marketing activities as directed and develop new business/clients where opportunities arise. Your budget and billables will of course be aligned to these responsibilities, ensuring a well-rounded and balanced role. What's on Offer This is a completely unique opportunity in the Christchurch legal market to embed yourself within the local community whilst also creating a high-performance environment! It's time to dispel those misconceptions about suburban branch work, as you will still have access to the same high net worth individuals and corporate entities that you would traditionally expect to only encounter in a CBD-based legal role. The Saunders & Co branches interact and operate with the CBD branch with a 'one firm' mentality. As this branch continues to grow from strength to strength, your leadership will allow you to identify staff growth opportunities within the branch and add to the firm's offering. This is a fantastic stepping-stone opportunity for the right person with partnership aspirations. Whilst this role will suit an ambitious candidate with a strong work-ethic, the firm is not interested in seeing you toil away for 70 hours per week. Instead, you will experience highly achievable revenue targets and billable hours in support of a healthy work-life balance. Finally, you can expect a modern, non-hierarchical culture with an open-door policy to the partners and management as well as a generous salary and benefits package dependent on experience.
