Careers.

We're always on the lookout for talented people to join our experienced team.

Davenports Law is a thriving firm based on Auckland’s North Shore. We’re known for focusing on individual needs, providing innovative solutions and building enduring, ongoing relationships based on respect - with both clients and staff.

At Davenports Law, you’ll find a passionate team providing high-quality work in a collegial and supportive environment.

Staff are recognised with highly competitive remuneration packages, including medical insurance, participation in the company’s bonus scheme, birthday days off, a full health and well-being programme and a subsidy towards a gym or fitness programme. We believe in building careers, that means investing in our employees’ professional development and genuinely encouraging staff to prioritise a balance between work and home.

At Davenports Law, work-life balance isn’t just a catchphrase.

“We’re committed to our working from home policy. Many of us, including myself, have young families. My philosophy has always been that if I want to be able to see my kids in school assembly, sports, dance-recitals and the rest, I expect that my staff can do the same. Families come first.”

Meet The Team.

Tammy Mcleod

MANAGING DIRECTOR

I’m passionate about Trust Law, as this area is all about people and relationships. You develop a really close connection with clients, becoming a valuable part of their team. Staff at Davenports get a lot of opportunity for client contact – all clients are “clients of the firm”, not individual lawyers. This approach nurtures a team atmosphere that we live and breathe. We have an open door policy and genuinely care about our staff. It truly is a Davenports family.

Jeremy Parsons

DIRECTOR

For me, Commercial law is an endlessly varied and stimulating specialty. I’m motivated by my client’s successful outcome and helping that happen in whatever way I can. I’m a born problem-solver and I enjoy finding the most streamlined solutions to my client’s complex needs. From a very early stage our team are given a significant level of autonomy. I find it satisfying to see junior members develop their technical expertise and confidence. With appropriate guidance, this enables them to grow their legal skills fast.

Stephanie Irons

DIRECTOR

As a director specialising in Trust Law and Wealth Protection, I have the privilege of building enduring relationships with clients, guiding them through the various stages of their asset planning journey. Whether it's providing peace of mind to those organising their affairs or assisting clients in achieving their desired outcomes amid trust or relationship property disputes, delivering meaningful results is very energising for me. Equally rewarding is the opportunity to mentor emerging lawyers within our firm. The legal profession is one of continual growth and learning, and I find great satisfaction in both sharing my experience and embracing new insights every day.
