I have acquired extensive management and governance experience whilst at this organisation.

My current company deals with ground breaking legislation and I find it very interesting working here. I am constantly learning new aspects that relate to the protection of our environment, my work day is definitely not boring or predictable. Two of the Directorates that report to me deal with litigation, in Pta and Cape Town, we are always busy with urgent court applications. I have an excellent working relationship with my co-workers, most of them are specialists in their respective fields, therefore I find my interactions with them very interesting. I enjoy that my work is not boring and that it constantly challenges me. The most challenging aspect is trying to please my political principals whilst still maintaining by legal integrity.

Pros: It is a great opportunity to learn more about a very specialised area of law, namely Environmental Legislation
Cons: Conflicting instructions which is not supported by legislation
