Legal Secretary to the Tax Assessment Secretariat - "Do you want to work with complex law up close to real life and follow your cases all the way through?"

Do you want to work with legal assessments that have a significant impact on both society and citizens? Do you want to dive into a field where precision and solid legal craftsmanship are crucial? Then you may be our new colleague in the Taksations Secretariat.

We are seeking a thorough and curious jurist who wants to become part of a strong professional environment where collaboration, sparring, and independent responsibility go hand in hand.

You will become a central part of the Taksations Secretariat, which assists the state valuation commissions and municipal over-valuation commissions. The commissions issue rulings on compensation in expropriation cases – cases that require high professional expertise and attention to detail. The Secretariat's foremost task is to prepare the cases and ensure that all relevant and factual circumstances are fully illuminated before the commissions make their decisions.

What your day-to-day will look like with us

As a jurist with us you will play a key role in legal case handling. You will primarily work with valuation cases and BNBO cases (Borehole Proximity Protection Areas), where you must ensure in-depth legal assessments. These are cases that are often both complex and principled.

You will have a daily life with a high degree of independence, but you are never alone. Close sparring with colleagues and management is an integrated part of how we work. You will have ample opportunity to immerse yourself in law, while also contributing broadly to the Secretariat's overall task solving across the organization.

Your main tasks will be to

• Handle and prepare complex valuation cases and BNBO cases.
• Prepare razor-sharp legal assessments, memos, and decision proposals.
• Assist the Secretariat service in the Advisory Board as needed.
• Assist the DPO function as needed.
• Support management with legal sparring and solve various ad hoc tasks.
• Contribute to the Secretariat's other operations

A strong professional and social community

You enter a team where we know that the best results are created together. We help each other, gladly share our knowledge, and take pride in delivering high quality.

We have a very good social environment with an informal tone. Although we often sit deep in complex statutes, there is always room for a good laugh over lunch and an informal chat by the coffee machine. We emphasize that it should be safe to ask questions, and we take the time to celebrate our successes. With us you get colleagues who care about you – both professionally and personally.

Who are you?

You have a legal education background (e.g., cand.jur. or cand.merc.jur.). We imagine that you are either a recent graduate with plenty of drive, or that you have already gained your first professional experiences and have up to about 3 years of seniority. The crucial thing is your solid legal foundation and your desire to learn.

In addition we place emphasis on that you

• Have strong legal competencies and thrive with independent case handling.
• Are a strong communicator who can cut to the chase and express yourself clearly and precisely – both in writing and speech.
• Work structurally and manage to keep an eye for detail without losing the overview.
• Thrive with complex problems and manage to keep an overview.
• Are a team player who wants to collaborate closely with colleagues across disciplines.
