This is an exciting opportunity for a junior or intermediate level lawyer with a grounding in resource management, environment planning and/or local government legal work to join a team with interesting work on the go. Working in a well-supported, friendly and flat structured team, you'll be mentored across a variety of work, learning from industry specialists.

The work will involve:

• Resource consent appeals
• Interpreting and applying bylaws and regulations
• Local government advisory matters
• Corporate governance
• Liquor licensing work
• RMA and regulatory prosecutions and enforcement work
• Judicial review matters
• Climate Change and ESG

There is a collegial approach in the team, where people have a sense of humour and life outside of work is also valued. Being a flat structured team, means you'll have good one on one partner mentorship in the role as well as work with other seniors. 

You will have:

• 2+ years' experience within either the RMA, regulatory litigation or public law space - whether gained in a law firm, local govt or in-house;
• Some working knowledge of the resource management legislative framework would be good;
• Good drafting skills;
• A decent university academic record (ideally B average or higher);
• An interest in further developing your career as a local govt and RMA lawyer.

This role might interest you if you're looking for greater variety or wanting to get properly involved in files where you'll have the chance to appear in Court on RMA related matters and learn directly from partners.

Those returning from Australia or the UK with relevant experience are also of interest.
