New Zealand Law Society - Senior Associate - Resource Management
Lane Neave’s nationally recognised Resource Management and Environmental team is growing, and we are seeking an experienced Resource Management lawyer to join us in either our Queenstown, Auckland, Christchurch, or Wellington office.
At Lane Neave, we embody a "people first" ethos, genuinely prioritising the wellbeing of people. We proudly act for some of New Zealand’s most prominent corporations including Woolworths, KiwiRail, Cardrona Alpine Resort and Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu on significant projects and complex RMA matters.
The Role:
This is a rare opportunity to work with our nationally recognised partner, Josh Leckie, who heads a leading Resource Management and Environmental team, within a flexible and modern environment. At Lane Neave, you will engage in high-impact work with national reach, serving a diverse array of clients.
As a senior member of the Resource Management and Environmental team, you will operate with a high degree of autonomy, while still enjoying collaborating with and mentoring colleagues of various levels of experience. You will establish enduring working relationships with our clients and with colleagues in other practices, in particular our commercial property and building and construction teams, fostering a culture of shared knowledge and expertise.
Lane Neave is the kind of firm where if you want to progress, you can make your mark and experience unparalleled, fast-tracked career growth, but with the guidance and support necessary to excel.
About You:
Ideally, you are a seasoned professional with 7+ years of post-qualification experience (PQE) in resource management, with a proven track record managing the resource consenting of major projects and participating in plan formulation processes.
Motivated and ambitious, you thrive on delivering exceptional legal advice and cultivating client relationships; delivering results, instilling confidence and securing repeat business.
If you think you are a close fit to the above, but are slightly short in the experience required, we still encourage you to reach out and explore the opportunity with us. The same goes if you are looking for a part-time arrangement.
