In the competitive world of legal recruitment, finding the best opportunities requires expertise, dedication, and a keen understanding of the market. That’s why we at Tyler Wren are thrilled to announce our strategic partnership with one of Australia’s leading legal recruitment firms. This comes on the back of the announcement of our strategic partnership with a London legal recruitment firm. These collaborations mark a significant milestone for Tyler Wren as we expand our reach and capabilities, furthering our mission to connect talented Kiwi lawyers with top-tier firms across the Tasman.
Boots on the Ground: Expertise and Local Knowledge
Our strategic partnership brings together a team of experienced recruiters who have between us an unparalleled understanding of both the New Zealand and Australian legal landscapes. We know and understand Kiwis and the firms here, and we have strategically positioned ourselves to link you to Australia’s top firms. Our “boots on the ground” approach ensures that we stay abreast of the latest developments in the legal recruitment market.
Exciting News for Kiwi Lawyers
We are now equipped to assist lawyers, in-house counsel, government lawyers, and legal support staff in making the move across the ditch. With the “softer market” being experienced in London, the Australian market presents a brilliant opportunity for Kiwis. The increased complexity and size of matters, alongside higher salary packages, make Australia an attractive destination for Kiwi lawyers to either build their long term careers in Australia or act as a springboard to enter the UK market when the climate becomes more buoyant.
Financial and Professional Advantages
Australian law salaries are often markedly higher than those in New Zealand. Our recently released salary guide offers insights into the current market landscape. While figures can vary regionally, by practice area, size and type of firm and based on level of expertise, the Australian market continues to provide significant opportunities for Kiwi lawyers.
Market Trends and Demand
The first quarter of 2024 has seen a period of stabilisation and shifting demand. There is a notable need for insolvency lawyers and commercial litigators, particularly those with 2-5 years of PQE. We are also seeing strong demand in the following areas:
- Employment/Workplace Relations
- Family Law
- Personal Injury
- Commercial Litigation
- Insurance
- Construction
Salaries are beginning to stabilise, and we are no longer seeing the dramatic increases of the past two years. Candidates are adjusting their salary expectations when changing jobs, as the market has normalised.
A Stepping Stone to Global Opportunities
A stint at a leading Australian firm not only offers immediate benefits but also enhances the chance of securing career-advancing roles in London or other global markets.
In conclusion, Tyler Wren’s strategic partnership with a top Australian law recruitment firm enhances our ability to offer Kiwi lawyers unmatched opportunities. Whether you are looking for a new challenge, complex files, better remuneration, or a stepping stone to global roles, the Australian legal market potentially holds the key to your career growth.
