Funding and support are offered across a wide range of the primary sector and can include climate change, farming, fishing and aquaculture, food and fibre sectors, Māori agribusiness, disaster and crises support, integrated farm planning, and regional economic development.

Solicitors and Senior Solicitors in MPI Legal Services are responsible for providing high quality, timely and practical legal advice.

They may handle a complex and demanding workload with a high degree of autonomy, with the supervision and assistance of more senior colleagues as appropriate.

They are expected to work across MPI with a varied focus, develop technical excellence in a variety of areas of primary industries law, and confidently assess and manage legal risk.
