Legal Executive/ Legal Intern
litigation @99porkypig in TransportationJob Description
Strengths:
- Clear Court Hierarchy: The description explicitly mentions representation in District Court, High Court, and Supreme Court, indicating a role with significant litigation responsibilities.
- Specific Court Types: The inclusion of Labor Court and Consumer Court cases and Tribunals highlights the diversity of legal matters the candidate will handle.
- Document Drafting: The emphasis on drafting various legal documents is crucial for a litigation-heavy role.
- Comprehensive Skill Set: The “Key Skills” section covers essential legal skills, including legal drafting, litigation management, and compliance.
Areas for Improvement:
- Industry Type Mismatch:
- “Travel & Tourism” seems like a very narrow industry for a role that includes Supreme court litigation, labour court, and consumer court. Unless this is a very large travel and tourism company, this is likely incorrect. It would be more accurate to use “Legal Services” or “Diversified.”
- Role Category:
- “Legal Operations – Other” is too vague. “Litigation Counsel,” “Legal Counsel,” or “Legal Manager” would be more appropriate.
- Experience Level:
- The description lacks information about the required experience level. Specifying the number of years of experience and the type of experience (e.g., litigation, contract management) is essential.
- Clarity on “Manage Contracts, Litigation, Legal Operations, and Compliance”:
- This is a broad statement. It would be beneficial to provide more details about the specific responsibilities within each area. For example:
- Contracts: What types of contracts? What is the scope of contract management?
- Litigation: What is the average caseload?
- Legal Operations: What specific legal operations are involved?
- Compliance: What specific compliance areas are relevant?
- This is a broad statement. It would be beneficial to provide more details about the specific responsibilities within each area. For example:
- Coordination with External Councils:
- Expand on the nature of this coordination. Does it involve providing instructions, reviewing work, or managing budgets?
- Technology Proficiency:
- Mention proficiency with legal research databases, case management software, and other relevant tools.
- Specific Legal Knowledge:
- While the description mentions various court types, it could be more specific about the relevant legal areas (e.g., civil procedure, labor law, consumer protection law).
- Quantifiable Goals:
- If possible, include quantifiable goals or expectations. For example, “Manage a caseload of X number of cases” or “Reduce litigation costs by Y%.”
- Company Information:
- Adding a brief description of the company and its operations would provide candidates with a better understanding of the organization.
- “Drafting Agreements”
- This key skill is very vague. What type of agreements?
- Education:
- While LLB is listed, it is assumed that enrollment in the bar council is also required. That should be explicitly stated.
