Our boutique law firm is the partner of choice for New Zealand’s high-growth companies, and we’re on the hunt for recent or soon-to-be graduates who share our passion.

We believe Kiwi companies punch well above their weight, and the work we do reflects that ambition. If that gets you excited, and you’re a good human with an insatiable hunger for learning and a sense of humour that could rival ours, we want you on our team.

Our clients are game changers in the technology sector and working alongside them will provide you with the opportunity to kickstart your legal career like nowhere else. And guess what? We’re not afraid to give you the chance to flex your legal brain, all while working side by side with your experienced Avid.legal colleagues. We specialise in:

We are growth focussed, for our clients and people, and we’re committed to help our own team reach their full potential. So yes, we will believe and invest in your growth. We’re not just here to make you “fit in” – we’re here to make you stand out.
From day one, you’ll be involved in the thick of fascinating and complex legal work. You’ll take part in a training programme led by experienced team members to bring you up to speed and give you the tools to succeed. And of course, we’ll support you through your profs, both with time and financial assistance.
You’ve probably gathered by now, we’re not your typical law firm – we’ve got a personality, interesting mahi and a curiosity to do things differently.
