Hiring: Junior Solicitor

June 19, 2023

Who we are

Franks Ogilvie specialises in public and commercial law. We work with a range of clients across government, political parties / causes, industry groups and not-for-profits. Our small team enjoys new challenges, tricky public policy issues and finding solutions where others might not.

Our varied practice often breaks new ground, so you’ll often be doing interesting work, not precedent based, that will require you to think outside the square and challenge you intellectually.

You will get a good variety of work in a friendly, supportive environment. You will be directly involved in client matters alongside the directors of the firm, and we will support your learning in areas of interest to you.


About you:

We are looking for a junior lawyer who backs themselves to perform beyond expectations. Ideally a qualified solicitor would be our preference but we would be willing to discuss opportunities with the right graduate.

The successful applicant will have good research skills and be systematic, with strong organisational and time management skills, NZ qualified with good academics (B average or higher in your degree LLB is a must). A degree in economics, political science or public policy would be a bonus.

If this sounds like you please email Angela with your CV, Academic Transcript and Cover Letter - info@franksogilvie.co.nz

Applications close 5pm Friday 7 July.

Give the team a call

We’re likely to know who makes the decisions, why, and how politics or the law can compel you or trip you up.
If it takes less than 20 minutes we rarely charge.
There are not many specialist public lawyers. Even fewer have commercial experience. We start and end with commercial interests at heart.
