Job description

The New York City Law Department is seeking applicants for the position of Assistant Corporation Counsel in the General Litigation Division.

The attorneys in this position will primarily oppose and resolve complaints filed in federal court seeking attorney’s fees arising from administrative proceedings under the Individual with Disabilities Education Act.

Attorneys in this role may also assist with other aspects of the division’s practice.

The General Litigation Division represents the City in federal and state court litigation in both routine matters and challenges to important programs in diverse areas including education, prison conditions, child welfare, freedom of information, public assistance benefits, campaign finance, and election law.

Attorneys in the division participate in all facets of litigation including pleadings, discovery, court conferences, arguments, motion papers, and trials. This position provides attorneys with opportunities to strengthen their litigation skills in federal court concerning attorneys’ fees. The role is particularly suited for attorneys seeking meaningful public service, particularly in federal practice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Salary Information: The Law Department sets salaries for new attorneys based on their post law school legal experience, which typically aligns with their law school graduation year.

  • For 0–5 years of legal experience: $87,737–$122,300
  • For 5-10 years of legal experience: $111,665-137,188
  • For 10-15 years of legal experience: $129,744-$159,521
  • For 15-20 years of legal experience: $152,077-$180,791
  • For 20+ years of legal experience: $166,966-$188,235 Candidates with highly specialized experience may qualify for salaries slightly above these ranges when a role requires such expertise or the position is considered hard to fill.

Work From Home Options: Following orientation, attorneys may elect to participate in one of two remote work programs:

  • Flexible Remote Work: Allows limited, irregular work from home days.
  • Citywide Pilot Program: Allows attorneys to work remotely on two set days per week, subject to Division approval and staffing needs. Participants must maintain a single designated remote work location, and in person obligations take precedence over scheduled remote days. This pilot is currently being tested across City agencies and is not yet permanent.

To apply, click the Apply Now button.

  • Upload your cover letter and resume together as one document under "cover letter."
  • Upload your writing sample and a list of three professional references (with contact information) together as one document under "resume."

Minimum Qualifications

The General Litigation Division is dedicated to providing outstanding legal advocacy. Accordingly, candidates must be graduates from an ABA accredited law school and be admitted to the bars of, and be in good standing in, the courts of New York State and the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York. Applicants should possess federal court experience and demonstrate litigation experience, exceptional organizational abilities, strong legal writing and analytical skills, strong interpersonal skills, and excellent judgment.
