Law firm seeks
legal high­flyer
Ashburton law firm
Arrowsmith Law has
taken a high­flying
approach to recruitment
­paying for flight training
for anew lawyer.
‘‘Finding the right
employees to help abusiness
grow seems to be a
challenge across the
South Island, but even
more so outside of the
big centres. I’d say it is
the biggest headache for
businesses in Ashburton,’’
director Greg Martin
said.
‘‘To meet the challenge
of recruiting qualified
lawyers to the firm,
we have decided to
include in the package on
offer something that will
help someone moving to
2196488
2200590
Ashburton get the most
out of living here: a
private pilot’s licence.’’
Mr Martin said Ashburton
had a thriving
airfield just five minutes
from town, with grass
runways, and a friendly
club with aflying school
‘‘and is surrounded by
uncluttered open skies’’.
‘‘From there you are in
the Canterbury foothills
in 15 minutes and, if the
weather’s good, over the
alps and on to the West
Coast in about 40
minutes. There is also
great flying to be had up
the braided rivers, or
down the coast,’’ Mr
Martin said.
He said that as well as
amatched­to­market salary,
Arrowsmith Law
would pay its new lawyer
to go through flight training
with the Mid Canterbury
Aero Club.
‘‘It’s likely to take about
two years of flying and
fairly hard study, but it’s a
hugely rewarding thing to
do. Our hope is that whoever
gets the job will stick
around longer than that.
But if they don’t, it will still
have been agreat time for
them living here. And the
real legal work is pretty
good, too,’’ he said.
The firm starts its
recruitment
campaign
soon and hopes a new
lawyer.aviator will join by
the end of the year.

has bought Dairyworks,
which began in Temuka,
for $112m, subject to

and complements the company’s
recent acquisition
of cheese manufacturer
Talbot Forest’’.
Synlait CEO Leon
Clement said it was an
exciting opportunity and
the business was a great
strategic fit for it.
