About.

We help lawyers and law firms across New Zealand make career moves that feel right.

The Found Group was created from the belief that recruitment works best when it’s personal, honest, and aligned with what people actually want. After years in the industry, we saw how clear conversations and the right timing can shape careers in a meaningful way.

Our approach is simple: we listen first, and only move forward when the path makes sense.

Start a conversation.

The Found Group is led by a search partner who works closely with lawyers and firms to ensure each placement feels right for both sides.

We combine market knowledge with a calm, straightforward approach so every interaction feels genuine and considered.

Our Values.

Transparency


We communicate openly so everyone knows where they stand.

Timing


Career moves should never be rushed. We help you understand the market and choose a moment that feels steady and well-timed.

Relationships


We take the time to build genuine, long-term relationships, working closely with people rather than focusing on volume or speed.

Our Approach.

Everything we do is centered on people.

Whether we’re connecting a lawyer with a firm or offering perspective on the market, our focus stays on understanding what matters most to you.

Every introduction is confidential, and every step is guided with respect and care.
