About the firm
Lane Neave is a mid-size, boutique law firm with four offices around New Zealand. We provide clear, decisive legal advice that gives real value and advantage to our clients, who range from multi-national corporates to small business owners and individuals. Most of our lawyers specialise in specific areas of the law and many have become recognised experts in their chosen fields. However, everyone embraces a ‘team’ approach, which gives us a strength and depth across the whole spectrum of the law.
Opportunities for students
We have opportunities for summer clerkships in each of our four offices, Christchurch, Auckland, Wellington and Queenstown for law students in their penultimate year of study.
Working at the firm
As a Summer Clerk, you will be buddied with a junior who will show you the ropes, and ensure you are supported while you complete your two placements either side of Christmas. At Lane Neave, you will be doing great work and have an enjoyable time doing it. Your work will vary each day, but you will get the opportunity to connect with great clients and be involved in real legal work. We have an active social network including many events and staff parties, and offer the opportunity to volunteer for initiatives and charities. We also provide lots of learning and development opportunities to our summer clerks, so they finish the clerkship with lots of knowledge about how a law firm works and what to expect when they start their legal career.
