Webb Henderson is a specialist Trans-Tasman law firm with offices in Auckland and Sydney.

Due to accelerating demands in the TMT area, Webb Henderson is keen to attract a talented lawyer with 5 to 8 years’ high quality commercial experience to join its team in Auckland. TMT experience is not a prerequisite; a genuine interest in the area and a willingness to learn are.

TMT law has been a primary area of specialisation across both offices since Webb Henderson’s inception more than 15 years ago. It is one of Australasia’s leading firms focusing on TMT and one of the largest teams with 5 partners and 10 lawyers across the two offices. The team works on an integrated basis between Auckland and Sydney, with partners and lawyers working closely across the offices on a day-to-day basis.

In New Zealand, Webb Henderson is recognised as a premium TMT, Corporate, M&A, Infrastructure, Competition and Regulatory team. The firm’s people are leaders in their field and their client base is discerning.
The TMT team acts for some of the world’s largest telecoms operators, media and technology companies and government clients, with high-profile engagements across Australia, New Zealand, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. They focus on the most strategic TMT projects in these regions including:

• The development and supply of wholesale broadband services;
• Global internet infrastructure, including broadband, subsea and satellite networks;
• The design, implementation and reform of regulatory frameworks;
• AI / machine learning, big data, blockchain, cloud computing, smart cities, buildings and energy;
• Commercialisation of new technologies;
• Procurement and outsourcing projects to deliver and integrate new technologies at scale; and
• Privacy, data protection and cybersecurity.

The ongoing growth and success of Webb Henderson is testament to the quality of these clients and the transactions they choose to engage the firm on.

Numerous New Zealand Law Awards further validate this, including Boutique Law Firm of the Year 2024, building on Webb Henderson’s strong record of winning the same award in 2023 and previously.

That said, it is Webb Henderson’s approach to working with people which differentiates them from other top-tier firms. They care deeply about the people they work with – both clients and team - and this engenders the highest degree of trust and confidence.

Webb Henderson’s partners invest time in building client relationships to understand their objectives and what is important to them. Likewise, the partners work closely with their lawyers and frequently talk openly, to understand individual strengths, interests, potential and what is important to them.

This care extends to the wider legal industry and environment. For example, Webb Henderson participates in the TupuToa internship programme for Māori and Pacific law students and is a B Corp certified organisation, confirming the firm meets the highest standards of social and environmental impact, balancing purpose and profit. Intentional and genuine care for clients, team, industry and environment is a defining value and differentiator of Webb Henderson.

If you are a high performing 5-8 year lawyer wanting to work with sophisticated clients on their most important strategic TMT projects and transactions, while working in an environment which combines the highest performance with the highest degree of care, then Webb Henderson would like to hear from you.
