Auckland City, New Zealand Auckland Council Full time

Permanent Full Time
- Auckland CBD
- Large In-House Team

**He angitūtanga: The opportunity**

Auckland Council’s Ngā Ratonga Ture (Legal Services) department has an opportunity for a full-time property Legal Counsel. This role will report directly to Associate General Counsel (Property) and will be based in the CBD.

This is a critical role for delivering high-quality legal services to the Council whānau. Our in-house property lawyers support an incredibly wide range of Council-related property mahi/work.

On any one day, we can work on projects touching on:

- Climate resilience and major events
- Tāmaki Makaurau’s waterfront, regional parks and community facilities
- Co-management with iwi and marae developments
- Commercial & residential developments and renovations
- Buy-outs of Category 3 properties from the 2023 weather events

We work on all aspects of property law, including acquisitions and disposals, developments, JV’s, leasing, licensing, easements, encumbrances. You will quickly become familiar with the Reserves Act, Public Works Act, Local Government Act, Council delegations and allocations.

**He kōrero mōu: About you**

We are looking for someone with 2 to 4 years PQE who demonstrates a sound understanding of property law. You will have strong attention to detail, be organised in managing your work, and have a collaborative working style with team members, clients, and our external law firm providers. In-house and local authority experience is welcomed, but not required.

You will have the ability to deliver well-articulated, technically robust legal advice. To be successful in this role you will be solution focused; working to manage risk within the organisation.

This is an opportunity to utilise your interpersonal and relationship building skills while working across a large and varied portfolio. This role will see you work independently and as part of a high-performing team.

We will be looking for specific experience with the key role requirements:

- A tertiary qualification in law and a current NZ practising certificate
- At least two years post graduate property law experience in legal practice (in-house or in private practice).

**Ngā āhuatanga kei a mātou: What we offer**

In return, we offer you the opportunity to join a purpose driven organisation in a uniquely collaborative environment. You will be immersed in a network of experts within the team and across Council; further developing your experience and expertise. You can expect a flexible and supportive environment and the opportunity to make a positive impact on Auckland’s future.

Auckland Council is one of the largest local authorities in the South Pacific providing essential services and facilities to more than 1.5 million people. We are progressive socially, culturally, and environmentally. Ngā Ratonga Ture (Legal Services) is a large in-house team of over 50 lawyers organised into five teams. The Property Team is one of those five teams and has around 10 lawyers and legal executives.

Ehara taku toa, he takitahi, he toa takitini My success is not mine alone, but the success of many.

You’ll have access to a range of fantastic Auckland Council benefits, including discounted Leisure Centre membership and a range of other partnership discounts
