Overview
Assistant Corporation Counsel, Labor and Employment Law
– City of New York, Law Department, Labor and Employment Law Division. The division seeks attorneys with a minimum of five years of litigation experience to defend the City in complex and challenging state and federal actions arising out of the City's role as an employer. Preference will be given to applicants with a background in labor and employment law, particularly as developed within a civil litigation context. Division attorneys handle a variety of matters including First Amendment retaliation; gender, race, age and disability discrimination; civil service law issues; and wage and hour litigation. Remote work options
After orientation, attorneys hired by the Law Department will have the opportunity to elect to work from home under one of 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. Position details
