Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Provide high-quality, commercially astute legal advice across the full spectrum of commercial property matters including investment, development, and leasing. Work closely with partners and clients to structure complex transactions and carry them through to completion.

At Anthony Harper, we thrive on delivering innovative and creative legal solutions that challenge conventional thinking. With offices in Tāmaki Makaurau and Ōtautahi, we're known for partnering with clients to drive meaningful business outcomes while also ensuring that every person at our firm feels valued and supported to reach their potential.
About the opportunity
Our commercial property team acts on complex, high-value transactions across New Zealand. Our work includes major development and urban regeneration projects, investment acquisitions and disposals, significant leasing portfolios and transactions involving hotels and retirement villages. We advise an impressive client base including NZX listed companies, developers, institutional and private investors, major landlords, financiers and property based operating businesses.
Based in Tāmaki Makaurau, you'll provide high quality, commercially astute legal advice across the full spectrum of commercial property matters, including property investment, development, acquisitions and leasing, together with the opportunity to develop specialist expertise in hotels and retirement villages.
You'll work closely with partners and clients from an early stage, helping to structure transactions, identify the issues that matter commercially and carry them through to completion. You'll have genuine responsibility, direct client contact and the support to keep extending your technical and commercial judgement.
About you
You'll be admitted to practise in New Zealand and have at least 3–6 years' experience, with a strong grounding in commercial property. You may already have experience in development, investment, leasing or property finance, but you do not need to have covered every area. More important is an interest in sophisticated transactions and a genuine appetite to build expertise in hotels, retirement villages and other property-backed businesses.
A commercial and pragmatic approach comes naturally to you, and you're confident working autonomously. You combine careful drafting and technical discipline with practical, responsive advice and providing an exceptional client experience.
You are comfortable taking ownership of matters and working autonomously with appropriate support. You build trusted relationships with clients and colleagues, communicate clearly and enjoy contributing to a high-performing team. Depending on your level, you'll also have the opportunity to supervise and help develop junior lawyers.
Shape your career at Anthony Harper
At Anthony Harper, you’ll be part of a collaborative team where partners are accessible, your ideas are welcomed and career development is shaped around your strengths and interests. You'll work on diverse, challenging matters with hands-on training, direct exposure to clients and a clear opportunity to develop a distinctive practice. With a strong focus on wellbeing and opportunities to have a positive impact on our communities, we foster an environment where you can do excellent work and build a career that is genuinely your own.
