What about LAWYERS?
Hi all,
I am a lawyer and I am expecting my visa to NZ shortly. In India I specialize in Taxation matters.
What r the employment avenues available to me?
I have been told that I have to take a test or do a course in order to be eligible.
Is that true?
Help please
Thanks
Dinesh

Re: What about LAWYERS?
Almost certainly you will have to do further study or supervised experience to
practise in New Zealand as a lawyer.
As your profession is a regulated one, in Australia you would have had to be accepted
as a lawyer by an Australian professional authority first in order to migrate. I'm
rather surprised NZ appears not to have closed this loophole.
You should contact the Law Society in New Zealand (or whatever the body regulating
lawyers there is called) and find out exactly what you will have to do to become a
lawyer in NZ.
Otherwise you risk being only able to do unskilled work. I'm also surprised you
haven't checked this point much earlier in the process.

Re: What about LAWYERS?
Many legal bodies do not have websites.
Try searching on google first, otherwise you'll have to resort to the online phone
book for NZ.

Re: What about LAWYERS?
An alternative might be to become a tax agent in New Zealand (assuming NZ has tax
agents like Australia). I don't think you need to be a lawyer for this, but you will
need to do some retraining and there's probably a lot of competition in the market.
