Stevenage, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom Hertfordshire CC Full time

Hertfordshire County Council is seeking two experienced lawyers to join its Legal Services team. The successful candidates will be responsible for providing high-quality legal advice and support to the council and its partners.

The Environment Law Team is a key part of the council's legal work, focusing on planning, highways, environmental, and rights of way issues. The team plays a crucial role in supporting the council's growth and development agenda, as well as its major infrastructure and community-facing projects.

The Commercial Law Team is involved in a wide range of legal work, including major highways procurements, housing and care provision, and IT contracts. The team also provides strategic advice on subsidy control and data protection.

As a Principal Lawyer, you will be instrumental in ensuring the service provided is of a consistently high quality. You will also contribute to the maintenance of Legal Services' Lexcel accreditation.

Key responsibilities include budget monitoring, service planning, and resourcing within the team. You will work closely with the Director and Assistant Chief Legal Officers to achieve these goals.

We are looking for lawyers with significant qualification experience in either Commercial Law or Environment Law (Planning or Highways). Local authority experience is beneficial but not essential.

We are proud to be a Disability Confident employer and guarantee an interview to anyone disclosing a disability whose application meets the minimum criteria for the post.

This role requires a Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check and the ability to drive and/or travel around Hertfordshire.

The ability to converse at ease with members of the public and provide advice in accurate spoken English is essential for the post.
