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. 

About you 

• 1+ years' experience within either the RMA, regulatory litigation, property 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 is not a graduate position, so you will need to have some relevant working experience to apply.
