The Wellington City Council (WCC) legal team are making some changes - for the better
They have recognised, for their people to take advantage of the amazing work opportunities that arise from the varied and challenging work they do - the team need to have consistent access to strong leadership and enough people to do the mahi.
They want a happy, healthy team who have a realistic workload and are supported to grow, develop, and be challenged (and be allowed to safely make mistakes) in a specialty of law that they are passionate about.
WCC are looking for 5 Legal and Senior Legal Counsels to work across the Public Law, Property, Construction, Commercial and RMA specialities - you can choose

- have 1-3 PQE, ideally including some commercial property experience
- be interested in gaining experience working with legislation relevant to local government
- have experience in drafting and/or interpreting documents

**The work**
The two legal teams at WCC do amazing, challenging, and varied work for our city.
