Job Description

Assistant Corporation Counsel Tort, Trial Attorney

The Tort Division of the New York City Law Department is now accepting applications from experienced trial attorneys, with at least 4 years of experience, to handle back-to-back personal injury trials Citywide. The subject matter of the trials will primarily be alleged-police-misconduct cases but can also range from trip-and-fall cases to complex multi-defendant motor vehicle accident/roadway design cases. After the completion of orientation, attorneys hired by the Law Department will have the opportunity to elect to work from home under one of the following two programs. The first option allows attorneys to work remotely on a limited and irregular basis. The second option is a Citywide pilot program, which allows participants to select two set days to work from home each week. The two days will need to be approved by the attorney's division and take into consideration the needs of the division, as the pilot program requires more than 50% staff coverage each day. In addition, if an attorney needs to appear in court, a client meeting or other in-person work related event on a set work from home day, they will need to attend to those in-person responsibilities and will not be able to work from home that day. Participants in the pilot program must set one work from home location where they will work remotely. This pilot program is currently being tested Citywide to determine its efficacy for City agencies and is not yet a permanent program. To apply, please upload your cover letter, resume, writing sample and a list of three references with contact information as one document under "resume."

Qualifications

Applicants must be admitted and in good standing in New York. The successful candidate will have substantial state court trial experience, significant experience in personal injury litigation, and excellent oral and written communication skills. Applicants should also have: demonstrated exceptional organizational, managerial, and supervisory abilities; strong legal analytical skills; solid knowledge of tort law, the CPLR, and evidentiary issues; solid knowledge of and experience in personal-injury-case evaluation and valuation of injuries; strong negotiation skills; excellent interpersonal skills; and excellent judgment.
