Drafting statements of case, witness statements and other litigation documents, advising on law and evidence, and instructing and working with counsel and experts. Advising council departments clearly and commercially, taking proper instructions and giving timely, practical advice. Handling matters that are high profile, politically sensitive or financially significant, with the judgement that requires. Drafting reports for Cabinet, Cabinet Members and committees, and attending meetings where needed - occasionally outside standard hours. Supporting and supervising junior colleagues, and keeping the team and its clients up to date on developments in the law. Recording time accurately against the team's internal recharge and chargeable hours targets.
