Principal Solicitor – Contentious

Mid-Sussex District Council’s legal team is expanding and looking to add a Principal Litigation Solicitor to the team. Our legal service supports the Monitoring Officer function and the Council as a whole, ensuring decisions made by all parts of the Council are legally robust and bearing statutory responsibility for the legal governance of the Council. This includes providing legal advice across all of the Council’s functions and, where advice cannot be sourced in-house, working with external solicitors and/or specialist counsel. We provide support for the delivery of the Council’s statutory and non-statutory functions including taking legal action where required.
