Job Title: AGENCY ATTORNEY (ENFORCEMENT)

The New York City Conflicts of Interest Board is seeking an Attorney for its Enforcement Unit. The Board is an independent City agency responsible for interpreting, administering, and enforcing the City’s conflicts of interest law, annual disclosure law, affiliated not-for-profits law, legal defense trusts law, and lobbyist gift law (http://nyc.gov/ethics). The Enforcement Unit is responsible for enforcing all of these laws, with most of its cases dealing with violations of the conflicts of interest law.

Under the supervision of the Director of Enforcement, Enforcement Attorneys independently handle their own caseloads from start to finish. Their responsibilities include: evaluating the legal and factual merits of each case, including by reviewing documentary and testimonial evidence gathered by the City’s Department of Investigation; presenting oral and written recommendations for proposed enforcement action to the Board at its monthly meetings; drafting pleadings; negotiating settlements; drafting settlement agreements; and prosecuting cases on behalf of the Board at the New York City Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings.

The Agency Attorney will also assist the Board’s Legal Advice Unit by responding to written and oral requests for advice from public servants. The candidate must possess the maturity, discretion, and judgment necessary to handle these sensitive, highly confidential matters. The candidate must also be able to engage in sophisticated and nuanced legal analysis and write in a clear, concise, and comprehensive way. The ideal candidate knows and is interested in the workings of New York City government.
