  • Assists in identifying emerging strategies and policies related to financial inclusion and develop proposals for deployment across the state;

  • Works on other legal projects and initiatives as requested;
  • Drafts reports, memoranda, presentations, and other written work products for internal and external stakeholders; and

Minimum Qualifications

Appointment Method:

Senior Attorney SG-25: One year as an Assistant Attorney 3 or admission to the NYS Bar and two years of subsequent professional legal experience.

The Traineeship: If you are appointed to one of the entry levels of the Attorney Traineeship, you will normally be advanced after each twelve months of satisfactory service to the next higher title (with salary based on performance) until you reach the full performance level of a Senior Attorney. If your final performance evaluation as an Assistant Attorney 2, and your six-month performance evaluation as an Assistant Attorney 3 are rated outstanding, you may be eligible for early advancement to Senior Attorney, reducing your traineeship by six months. All service during the traineeship will be in probationary status.
