Careers

Since the firm was established over 20 years ago, James & Wells has become one of the leading and fastest growing intellectual property practices in New Zealand, with offices in Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga and Christchurch. Our services encompass all aspects of intellectual property law in New Zealand.

In addition to seeking protection for innovation and ideas through patents, trade marks, copyright, design registrations and plant variety rights, we develop and implement IP and commercialisation strategies to maximise the benefits of the protection we obtain for our clients, and we have arguably the most significant dedicated IP litigation team in New Zealand for the enforcement of our clients’ rights.

We are recognised not only as a leading service provider but also a leading employer, having been named ‘Legal Personnel Employer of Choice’ in the 2006 NZ Law Awards and a finalist in the 2007 awards. We were also finalists in the ‘Intellectual Property Law’ and ‘Regional Law Firm of the Year’ awards.

James & Wells Intellectual Property provides a stimulating and collegial working environment where we appreciate the benefits of work-life balance. We operate under a team structure which provides support and growth for all members.
