SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

The ideal applicant will have demonstrated people leadership capability and be eager to supervise, mentor and develop a team of solicitors as part of a leadership team.
Along with excellent substantive legal skills and the ability to develop positive client relationships, applicants should also be able to demonstrate sound judgment on complex public law matters - ideally both in an advisory and litigious context - based upon relevant experience.
Although not essential, an understanding of the structure and culture of government would be beneficial. Experience in, or a strong interest in, constitutional law is also desirable.

We are seeking a senior and experienced lawyer to join the Constitution and Advice Team as a Managing Principal Solicitor.
Working closely with the Lead Counsel for the Constitution and Advice Team, this role provides professional leadership to and management of a team of public law solicitors, while providing high quality legal services to Government and efficiently managing advisory and litigation files in complex public law matters relating to the powers of government and the regulation of government power.
