Work with us!
Ready for a fresh approach to your legal career?
Apogee Legal is an award-winning legal firm based in Whakatāne. Established in 2019, we’ve been embraced by our local community and are growing fast. We’d love to hear from lawyers at any stage in their career.
Your CV and experience? Sure, we’ll be taking a good look. But what we’re really looking for are people that connect with our fresh approach to serving our clients and operating a law firm.
Our ethos
At Apogee Legal, we’re out to do things differently by moving beyond the traditional transactional style of law. We see our role as supporting our clients to reach their personal and business goals – their apogee – by providing the right legal tools and strategic advice, all personalised to their life or business stage.
Why you should join us
As we are a smaller-sized firm, you’ll be involved in a wide variety of interesting work, and in control of your career path. You’ll have the independence to get on with your day, but also the support you need from our team of highly experienced legal professionals. We aim to provide a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and really enjoy getting to know our clients and sharing in their success.
Above all, at Apogee Legal we value getting the most out of life – whether it’s at work for our clients or at home. Although we pull together when needed, we don’t believe long hours or stress should be a necessity in building an exciting legal career. With us you’ll find the work-life balance that means you can truly make the most of living in this beautiful part of Aotearoa.
Meet your new hometown
The Eastern Bay region is growing, and Whakatāne is home to a supportive business community who are passionate about seeing this place thrive. It’s exciting to be part of a shift that’s being felt all over New Zealand as people look to move to places that offer a way of life you usually need to wait for the weekend to enjoy.
New Zealand’s favourite beach, Ōhope, is a few minutes’ drive from work, and native bush trails are a short stroll away. There are great places to eat, a buzzing little CBD, and plenty of activities to get stuck into. We’re an hour’s drive from Mount Maunganui and Rotorua, its bike trails and beautiful lakes.
What to do
If you are seeking to grow your career – and enjoy life - at a firm that puts people at the heart of all we do, we’d love to hear from you.
