Auckland City, New Zealand Auckland Council Full time

**He angitūtanga: The opportunity**

Te Kaunihera o Tāmāki Makaurau/Auckland Council has an opportunity for a Legal Counsel to join its Property Law team, reporting to the Associate General Counsel (Property) in Ngā Ratonga Ture/Legal Services. This role is a parental leave cover fixed term contract for 12 months, based in the Auckland City Centre with some flexibility to work from home or a Council hub.

This is a critical role for delivering high-quality legal services to the Council whānau. Our Property Law team comprises 8-10 lawyers and legal executives, supporting a wide range of Council-related property mahi/work.

You could expect to work on:

- Providing robust advice on acquisitions, disposals, developments, licensing, easements, encumbrances, commercial & community leasing and statutory requirements.

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 are specifically looking for:

- Familiarity with the Reserves Act, Public Works Act, Local Government Act, Council delegations and allocations.
- Tertiary qualification in law and a current NZ practising certificate
- Two years of post-graduate property law experience in legal practice (in-house or private practice).

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

Auckland Council is the largest local authority in the Southern Hemisphere and is New Zealand’s main urban “growth” council. The challenges and opportunities in the transactional property and land advisory areas are significant.

Legal Services is an in-house team of 50+ lawyers in five teams (Property, Commercial, Litigation & Dispute Resolution, Regulatory & Enforcement, and Public Law). We empower Auckland Council to do the right thing, the right way, for an Auckland we can all be proud of.

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