Job Responsibilities

With us, you will be one of four central municipal lawyers, and your primary responsibility will be to provide legal support and guidance to employees, managers, and elected officials. You will be placed directly under the head of the quality and administration department.

You will work with administrative law, municipal law, and contract law, as well as other areas of law that may arise in a municipal administration. However, there will be a particular focus on issues regarding tort law, public access and confidentiality, order law, and traffic legislation.

The position is located in the quality and administration department. Our main mission is to ensure that the democratic process functions within the administration. In this mission, the central municipal lawyers are crucial for success. The department is also responsible for document and case management processes, goal and operational management, strategic work, and quality work.

The central municipal lawyer team consists of four lawyers who work closely together in their daily tasks, exchanging ideas and supporting each other. It is important for the team to maintain a social and open climate where there is time to discuss issues and space to support one another.

In the administration, there are also two other specialist functions in law: a unit for property law and environmental law, as well as a business unit with legal expertise in public procurement law (LOU).

• have worked as a lawyer in any of the legal areas related to the committee's specific responsibilities, such as contract law, tort law, traffic legislation, and order law.

You must be able to continuously analyze and prioritize your work effectively.

The position involves many internal and external contacts, which requires good collaboration skills and the ability to build good relationships and trust.

You are self-driven and enjoy taking initiative in your work.

Furthermore, you have a good ability to express yourself and convey information and knowledge in a pedagogical manner. You have a curious and unpretentious approach.
