About Apogee Legal

Crowned one of New Zealand's fastest firms in 2024 by NZ Lawyer and proud to be the winner of Outstanding Small Business Award at the 2024 HEG EBoP Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards.

About the role

When joining Apogee, you go beyond ensuring legal documents are in place. By getting to know your clients and understanding their real needs, you will provide advice, insights and tools to ensure their objectives and ambitions are met – now and on their continued journey of life. With the strengths of the team around you, you will collaborate to ensure the highest level of service is provided, sharing in clients’ success.

With this being a small, but growing firm, you will be involved in a variety of interesting work. You will also have the opportunity to carve out your own career pathway and develop niche areas of practice to meet the evolving needs of the community. Each team member has an individual development plan to support their strengths and aspirations, with specific goals on how these will be achieved together.

Skills and experience

Our ideal candidate will have;

5+ years PQE in general legal practice – ideally with a property, relationship property, personal, commercial or agri-business bias.
The ability to forge customer relationships as both a technical expert and a trusted friend.
Exceptional communication and organisational skills to flex and adapt to changing client needs.
Willingness to support and mentor others in the team.

Above all, we’re looking for someone with a collaborative and team approach, a good sense of humour, a passion for their community, who can make the magic work for our clients.

Benefits

“At Apogee Legal we value getting the most out of life – whether it’s at work for our clients or at home. Although we pull together when needed, we don’t believe long hours or stress should be a necessity in building an exciting legal career. With us you’ll find the work-life balance, with flexible working arrangements, which means you can truly make the most of living in this beautiful part of Aotearoa.”

Owing to their ongoing successful and growth ambitions, Apogee Legal has relocated to brand new offices in the heart of Whakatāne.
