Employer of Choice

At Russell McVeagh, it’s all about people. We strive to do the best work for the best clients with the best people. We believe our reputation as New Zealand’s top law firm is due to the quality of our client base, and our commitment to excellence and teamwork.

The Australia and New Zealand Graduate Careers’ Survey named Russell McVeagh as the top law firm among New Zealand’s graduate employers for two years running. In addition, Australasian Legal Business Magazine announced Russell McVeagh was voted as Employer of Choice in New Zealand for four years running in their annual Employer of Choice Survey.

These rankings make us very proud, and delighted to see that our efforts to be a top employer are so widely recognised. It is a testament to how seriously we take the recruitment of our legal staff, and how much we care about the development of our employees once they are on board.

We were awarded Deal of the Year and Australasian Debt Market Deal of the Year at the Australasian Legal Business Awards 2011 as well as winning Deal Team of the Year, Deal of the Year and Dealmaker of the Year in 2010. We won IFLR Law Firm of the Year and were recognised for our efforts in pro bono and sustainability. We were also honoured in 2010 by the Robin Hood Foundation for our more than 25 years of pro bono support for the Mangere Community Law Centre.

Such endorsements are humbling but very pleasing to us and we invite you to find out for yourself what we are like and what a career at Russell McVeagh offers. If you are a driven all-round achiever, looking for the very best place to start your legal career, come and talk to us.
