Senior attorneys also occasionally pursue actions in which the City is the plaintiff and provide city departments and agencies with training, legal advice, and policy and procedure development to ensure compliance with best practices. Senior attorneys also provide guidance and coaching to associate and entry attorneys.

This position presents a challenging and rewarding opportunity for a senior-level attorney with substantial litigation experience, who thrives in a fast-paced, constantly changing work environment.
