We are seeking a Legal Administrator to join our wonderful Christchurch Commercial team on a 12-month parental leave cover. This is a great opportunity to develop your skills and grow your career by contributing to all aspects of our busy Commercial team.

As a Legal Administrator, you’ll provide high-level personal assistance to our Partners, as well as secretarial and administrative support to the wider team of lawyers. You’ll be involved in premium work in an open, engaging, and transparent environment.

You’ll not only have the support of the Commercial team, but you’ll also be part of the Christchurch administration team, with access to training and guidance from an experienced and collaborative group of Legal Administrators.
