We hire only the most promising law students from New Zealand s universities and train our solicitors through rigorous, hands on training by our partners and senior associates. Tutelage of our solicitors is treated with the highest priority, and we firmly believe that their training must be supervised directly by the partnership. We don t pigeon-hole our lawyers. You will gain a broad and in-depth understanding of commercial life and all of the areas of law at the heart of commercial decision-making. Our system ensures that our solicitors and associates develop the breadth of knowledge and critical experience that is necessary to service our clients demands.

12 Support.

13 The relationship that our solicitors develop with our partners and the informal mentoring they receive are integral to their growth as lawyers. To the partnership, our young lawyers, including our summer clerks, represent the future of the firm. Each partner invests their time and knowledge in each of our lawyers accordingly. Every lawyer is also formally mentored throughout their career at Mayne Wetherell by a partner and an associate. Regular meetings with your mentors give you the opportunity to discuss your personal development and career goals. Hannah Lee - Solicitor

14 Applicants.

15 Although our solicitors and associates typically have outstanding law school and university grades, we actively seek candidates who demonstrate that they possess the qualities necessary to succeed in the business world. Equally, although our practice is focussed on corporate and financial transactions, many of our solicitors did not formally study commerce at university and that is not a prerequisite to apply. Our clients are deal makers who want lawyers to provide them with smart solutions. That s why we seek applicants who are not afraid to take on new challenges, who have a drive to excel and who will be enthusiastic members of our team. To apply, submit a written application, comprised of a short cover letter and summary curriculum vitae, by to recruitment@maynewetherell.com For further information, visit Applications close 21 March 2013
