What is happiness worth to you?

If you answer 'No' to any of these questions
then it might be time to join Portia

  • I'm treated with respect by everyone at work (Yes / No)
  • The firm I work for has values that align with my own (Yes / No)
  • Everyone I work with aspires to be the best they can be (Yes / No)
  • I'm not expected to work more hours than I get paid for (Yes / No)
  • I have kept true to my reasons for wanting to be a lawyer (Yes / No)
We're always on the lookout for lawyers who are sound, loyal, have a tonne of integrity and are real 'law nerds'.

Our culture is relaxed and staff-centric. We've spent ten years building a team of highly profession family law experts, social justice warriors and excellent litigators.

There's no hierarchy, no boozy lunches or compulsory after-work drinks.

Most importantly, there's work (for 37.5 hours per week) and then life (the rest of the time). We don't intrude into our employee's time outside of work hours.
Our strategy moving forward is to gather together the leading family and civil litigators in Aotearoa New Zealand, to break the paternalistic paradigm and focus on providing female and non-cisgender clients (in particular) with excellent access to justice.

We each work alongside professionals who see law as a calling, not just a career. They are devoted to learning and growing and thrive in a collegial environment.

If this sounds like your sort of place to grow as a lawyer, use the link to email Erin Ebborn, our Director and Principal lawyer.

Portia heralds an evolution in law

Four reasons you'll want to work here...

Understanding



Socially-aware


​
Alongside
we don't do things because it's how it's always been done, we move to the beat of our own drum. We're proud to  often find ourselves leading the way

we don't judge, we know life happens and we all have to deal. There's never any need to be salty 'cause we'll always work things like grown ups

we care about what you care about because we're all on this fragile, beautiful planet together and we have to look out for one-another. Amiright?

law is a chaotic place and many folks find lawyers hard to understand, or judgemental, or just plain scary. Not us. We know that clients choose Portia because we're the ones who'll be there, by their side, and that's why we're always on the lookout for the right type of lawyer
