A job that matters! With us, you contribute to a well-functioning society for the public and businesses.

We also handle the enforcement review of judgments and decisions, as well as processing cases related to corrections, blocking, and deletion of data in the authority's operational databases. Your workday will be varied. You will work across several different areas of law, including procedural law, property and tenancy law, contract law, consumer law, family law, corporate law, and enforcement law. You will manage cases concerning special assistance, conduct legal investigations, and write opinions for courts and other authorities. The role involves many external contacts, both in writing and by phone. Additionally, you will provide legal support to case handlers in several units within the department. This means that, in a coaching role, you need to be prepared to quickly handle and respond to various types of inquiries.
