Location: Warwickshire/Midlands Role: Criminal and Regulatory Lawyer Hours: Permanent (37 hours - part time considered) Salary: 46,731 to 49,764 Sellick Partnership is delighted to be working exclusively with the shared Legal Team for South Warwickshire. This successful in-house legal team provides the full range of legal services across two local authorities: Stratford on Avon and Warwick District Councils. The current vacancy for a criminal and regulatory lawyer lies within the Planning and Regulatory Team. This is a dynamic and varied team which covers several areas of legal practice, including: planning, licensing, regulatory, housing and general criminal and civil litigation. This team supports the two local authorities in a range of exciting projects. The lawyers you will work with are friendly and supportive, with a strong team ethic. As the new regulatory lawyer you will be an integral part of this team, delivering legal advice and support to all aspects of the Council's services. You will be a positive and highly motivated person who is confident, versatile and innovative. Daily duties of this post will focus on work relating to enforcement and regulatory law. The work involves pre prosecution advice on matters such as planning, building regulations, environmental health, and licensing, as well as civil and criminal litigation. You will be a strong communicator with excellent analytical and drafting skills and the ability to manage a full and varied caseload effectively. You will be directly involved in high-quality legal work and make a positive difference to the community. This is a fantastic opportunity for an established lawyer with a good understanding of enforcement/regulatory law, as well as the political and economic environment in general, to join a progressive organisation. This post advises on public law and regulatory issues in connection with a range of powers exercised by the local authority. As such, it is key that the post holder is able to not simply follow the letter of the law but understands the need to work within the constraints that come from working in local government. Previous experience may have been gained from a regulatory team or a criminal defence team, either in a public or private organisation. This client is able to offer some training and support, but applicants must possess good drafting skills and a broad enforcement background. Flexible and non-traditional working patterns are encouraged, and you can work on a full-time or part-time basis. The ideal candidate will have a keen interest in local government and may be someone with a significant legal expertise in the relevant areas or someone relatively newly qualified with a keen desire to learn and develop. Most importantly, we seek applications from enthusiastic and adaptable people who are motivated to use their research, analytical and communications skills to provide practical, solution-focussed legal advice to internal clients. You will be a qualified Solicitor/Barrister/FILEX with a current Practising Certificate. You will join a sizable team of lawyers and support staff. In return for your experience, commitment, and motivation, you will enjoy working in a modern environment, with a competitive salary and benefits package. All necessary IT and equipment shall be provided by the Council. This is a forward-thinking client who offers unrivalled levels of flexibility.
