Unique legal opportunity at a sought-after South Island firm

He angitūtanga | The opportunity

Is it time to make a change?  Are you looking to make the move to the beautiful and stunning West (best!) Coast?  Or are you not sure what your next move is, but know that you want a change and better work/life balance?  Maybe you’re looking to make a lateral move into a different area of the law?  Give us a call! 

Your next move could be to join the incredible team at Hannan & Seddon (a division of Corcoran French), in our Greymouth office.  Primarily, we’re a general practice office but there may be opportunities to put your unique expertise to use.  Give us a call, we want to talk to you.

Mō tātou | About us

We’re a long-standing and highly regarded law firm in Greymouth.  We’ve been part of the coast community for more than 100 years, and that’s something dear to us and that we’re really proud of.  Our heart is for our team, our clients, and our community.  We have a supportive, tight-knit and talented team, supported by a pretty awesome bunch over the hill in our Christchurch and Kaiapoi offices.  We have a great team, and we do challenging, varied and interesting work.  Come and join us!

As part of our Greymouth team, you’ll join and become an integral part of the tight-knit and awesome local community.  The coast is a fabulous place to live and work, grow a family, and to explore the absolutely stunning backyard that we are proud to call home.

He kōrero mōu | About you

We’re happy to wait for the right person for this role – are you that person?  We’re also keen to think creatively about your experience and how you might fit in our team.  You’ll have at least 3 years’ PQE and will have the skill set to be able to jump into our busy property, commercial and rural portfolio, or if this isn’t your expertise, you’ll have the legal skills and desire to grow in this field.  We work across wills, estates, trusts and relationship property as well.

Equally important is your alignment with our values:  ‘Be part of a team’, ‘Get the best result’, ‘Think outside the square’, ‘Bring your “A” game’, ‘Grow’, ‘Dot the “i”s, cross the “t”s’
