Job description

Looking for a change in pace from the ordinary and mundane? The New York State Gaming Commission seeks a skilled and motivated Assistant Counsel to actively support the Commission’s exciting and important mission to ensure that all lawful gaming and horse racing activity conducted in this State is of the highest integrity, credibility, and quality. The Commission is the State’s regulatory body over all forms of gaming conducted within the State, with varied responsibilities including operation of the $10 billion-per-year New York Lottery and regulation of commercial casinos, mobile sports wagering, Indian casinos, video lottery gaming, interactive fantasy sports, charitable gaming, and horse racing and pari-mutuel wagering in New York State.

Prior experience in general litigation is ideal, but prior work in the gaming industry is not required, as substantive training in this interesting, robust, and dynamic area of law is provided to new Assistant Counsels through mentoring and hands-on experience. Reporting to the Deputy Counsel, the Assistant Counsel will perform the following duties and tasks as part of the team in Counsel’s Office:

  • Represent the Commission in adjudicatory proceedings and litigation;

  • Advise Commission staff and the Commission on general legal and topical issues, best practices, and other matters related to all areas of legal gaming that are regulated by the Commission;
  • Draft contracts, agreements, and memoranda;
  • Analyze and draft legislation, rules, regulations, and policies;
  • Examine compliance with the Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law, State Administrative Procedure Act, Tax Law, General Business Law, General Municipal Law, and Commission regulations; and
  • Assist with responses to Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests submitted to the Commission.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Admitted to, and a member in good standing of, the New York State Bar
  • At least two years of experience in the practice of law
  • Excellent legal analysis, research, and writing skills
  • Strong organizational, interpersonal communication, problem-solving, and teamwork skills
  • Litigation experience, including strong verbal communication skills
  • Comfort with and experience using technology to complete legal work, including knowledge of and experience with PC applications, such as Microsoft Office, and legal research platforms (currently using LEXIS)
  • Meticulous attention to detail and quality control

  • Strong background in litigation
  • Strong analytical and writing skills
