Summary
Legal Services is recruiting Lawyers for its Community Team. This Team takes instructions from service areas across the Council and some external clients, and carries out a wide range of civil and criminal litigation as well as providing advice to Council committees, including Planning and Licensing. Major areas of practice include social and private housing, anti-social behaviour and community safety, adult social care, planning, licensing, employment, health and safety, public protection and environmental regulation.
