About Gault Mitchell
Ready to build your career with one of Wellington's most highly regarded general practice law firms?
  
Gault Mitchell Law is seeking a motivated Junior to Intermediate Solicitor to join its growing team. This is an outstanding opportunity for a lawyer who enjoys variety, values strong client relationships, and wants exposure to a broad range of legal work within a supportive and collaborative environment. With a reputation for delivering practical, high-quality advice, Gault Mitchell acts for a diverse client base across property, private client, commercial and relationship property matters. You'll work closely with experienced Partners, gaining valuable hands-on experience and responsibility from an early stage.
  
The Opportunity
This is a genuinely varied practice where no two days are the same and there is a steady work flow. You’ll be working across a range of matters including:

• Residential and commercial property transactions
• Property development and subdivision matters
• Financing
• Contracting out and separation agreements
• Trusts, wills and enduring powers of attorney
• Business transactions
• Working with other staff on litigation files

You'll have direct client contact, meaningful responsibility, and the opportunity to develop your expertise across several practice areas rather than being confined to a narrow specialisation. Rather than operating in separate teams, Gault Mitchell work more broadly and collaboratively so you’ll also have the opportunity to work with and learn from several different Partners and more senior lawyers in the firm.  You will work more closely with partners at Gault Mitchell than you will at many other firms.
  
  
About You
We are interested in lawyers who:

• Have approximately 1.5 - 4 years' PQE
• Have NZ based experience in property, private client and/or commercial experience (experience in all areas isn’t a must)
• Relate well to others
• Have strong written and verbal communication skills
• Thrive in a collaborative team environment

  
What Gault Mitchell Offers

• High-quality and varied legal work
• Direct mentoring from highly regarded Partners
• Great people to work with in a supportive, down-to-earth team culture
• A forward looking firm experiencing significant growth
• Modern, recently refurbished offices based in the heart of the Wellington CBD - close to great lunch spots with easy access to public transport
