Job Details
Public Lawyer – Public Sector Wales
My client is the largest public sector client in Wales. With more than 100 lawyers and support staff, organised across 15 subject areas, the Legal Services Department is the largest of its kind in Wales. It is responsible for the delivery of all legal services . They advise on complex matters of public law, employment law and commercial law, on projects of national significance, on major constitutional developments, on addressing the challenges of EU withdrawal and play a central role in the development of Welsh legislation.
You will provide legal advice in a fast paced, public law environment where often the issues are high profile and significant in terms of the developing UK constitution. You will work in a team situation, gaining experience of working with lawyers, policy clients and Welsh Ministers to shape policy in Wales.
You will need to demonstrate your capability in one of the following legal professional skills:
- An understanding of administrative law (e.g. the legal grounds for challenging decisions of public authorities), sufficient to identify potential legal pitfalls.
- An understanding of EU law or Human Rights law, sufficient to identify potential legal pitfalls
Specifically, the Department is seeking to appoint lawyers who can provide additional capacity and expertise across public law, employment law and contracts and public procurement. If you are attracted by working at the forefront of the law, we would welcome your interest. You could be newly qualified, an experienced lawyer seeking to apply your skills in a new and different context, or attracted by an environment which offers and embraces flexible working arrangements. Applications from those who are not yet qualified are also welcome but appointment will be conditional on qualification having been obtained prior to start date.
Flexi working, better than market rate pension benefits and holidays are included.
