Move forward in your career as a Legal Executive

We recruit professionals into Legal Executive roles for law firms, local authorities and businesses. As experienced Legal Executives are considered highly valuable to law firms and a great legal support, often with more practical experience than junior lawyers, there are good opportunities in the market for Legal Executives. . Our clients are interested in those who hold a New Zealand Law Society Legal Executive Diploma and have previous Legal Executive and/or legal secretarial experience in areas such as litigation, corporate, finance, private client and property law. Although having completed this diploma isn’t compulsory, it is hugely advantageous and preferred by most employers.

The role of a Legal Executive demands that the professional be reliable, accurate, able to keep information confidential and have the ability to work to deadlines. The work is challenging, interesting and offers great room for career progression. Legal Executives can often move onto leading their own team of secretaries and executives, or become practice managers in a law firm. With further study and experience, professionals can become qualified Solicitors entering the legal market at an intermediate level.
