Parliamentary Counsel careers

A Parliamentary Counsel provides legal expertise and support to government members in drafting and reviewing legislation. You might work within a parliamentary office or a government department. Parliamentary Counsels focus on ensuring that proposed laws are clear, legally sound, and consistent with existing legislation. You’ll draft bills, amendments, and legal documents, and offer advice on legal issues related to legislative processes.

Parliamentary Counsels play a key role in shaping legislation and ensuring its effectiveness. You’ll need to have strong analytical skills and a thorough understanding of legislative processes. You’ll work closely with legislators and government officials to support the creation of well-crafted and enforceable laws.
