The candidate will work on interesting cases with an unusually high degree of responsibility and independence. Division attorneys counsel City agencies and officials on transactional matters. New lawyers begin with a focus on statutes and regulations applicable to municipal contracts and real property transactions as well as administration, budget, and public policy concerns and general commercial law. A primary responsibility of Division attorneys is to review and approve various City agreements and real estate documents for legal sufficiency and compliance with governing statutes and regulations. New attorneys participate in this review and advise agencies on the processes that must be followed to enter into such agreements. New attorneys also assist in drafting various documents that originate in the Division and comment on drafts of documents, such as procurement Requests for Proposals, created by other agencies. Finally, the Division acts as transactional counsel on special projects at the request of the Mayor’s Office and City agencies. In doing so, Division attorneys structure, negotiate, and draft complex agreements. New attorneys are often asked to conduct legal research and analysis in connection with these agreements.

Should include a cover letter, resume, writing sample, and law school transcript.
