Graduate Role – Opportunity; Lifestyle; Great Career

Big opportunities. Real responsibility. Amazing lifestyle.

What if your first legal role gave you meaningful client work, supportive mentors, genuine career progression—and you could get to work in under 10 minutes?

Welcome to life in the Manawatū and Rangitīkei.

We’re a growing law firm looking for a Graduate Solicitor who’s ready to learn, contribute and build an exceptional career. If you’re looking for more than being one of hundreds of junior lawyers in a city firm, we’d love to meet you.

Why join us?

You’ll work alongside experienced lawyers who are committed to helping you succeed. From day one, you’ll gain exposure to a broad range of legal matters, develop strong client relationships, and build practical experience that many graduates don’t see for years.

General practice means no two days are the same. You’ll learn faster, work across different areas of law, and become a trusted adviser to clients in our communities.

Why leave the city behind?

Life outside the big centres has its perks.

✔ Say goodbye to hour-long commutes.
✔ Spend more time doing what you love.
✔ Affordable housing means buying a home is a realistic goal—not a distant dream.
✔ Enjoy incredible outdoor recreation, vibrant communities and an enviable work-life balance.
✔ Build lasting relationships with clients and become part of a community where your work genuinely matters.

You’ll discover that success isn’t measured by the time you spend in traffic.
