Govett Quilliam is one of Taranaki’s most enterprising law firms with a strong brand and exceptional people. Located in a strong business community in the heart of Taranaki, Govett Quilliam prides itself on delivering legal excellence to its clients. From navigating the complexities of corporate governance to guiding families through their most intimate challenges, we are dedicated to securing the best outcomes for our clients.

We require a 1-3 years’ PQE lawyer to join our highly regarded Family Law team. 

We are looking for a confident, proactive candidate with passion for family law matters, a flair for initiative and a natural personable approach essential to supporting family law clients. Working alongside an incredibly motivated, supportive, diverse and experienced team, you will be someone who demonstrates integrity and drive.

The work will involve wide-ranging family matters, from care of children and family violence proceedings, to relationship property and estate disputes. You will also have the opportunity to work on various health and professional disciplinary proceedings. Our lawyers are well versed in Legal Aid and private clientele with the same quality of work you would expect in the major cities (without the traffic jams). You will receive support and mentorship from our two partners and the wider team.
