The Federal Initiatives team focuses on federal actions, laws, and regulations that impact immigrants' rights, LGBTQ rights, workers' rights, climate change, reproductive health, healthcare and public health, economic equity, racial equity, and discrimination. This position is in the New York City office.

In addition to litigation, Special Counsels will monitor legal and regulatory changes for their impact on New Yorkers and draft policy papers and recommendations. Depending on their area of focus, Special Counsels will also collaborate with community groups, other states, state agencies, local governments, nonprofits, and private attorneys.

  • Experience coordinating with broad-based litigation teams;
  • Excellent legal analysis, legal writing and editing, and oral advocacy skills; and
  • Experience building and maintaining coalitions.

Applicants must reside in (or intend to soon become a resident of) New York state and be admitted to practice law in New York state. In addition, the Public Officers Law requires that OAG attorneys be citizens of the United States. A two (2) year commitment upon being hired is a condition of employment.

As an employee of OAG, you will join a team of dedicated individuals who work to serve the people of our state through a wide variety of occupations. We offer a comprehensive New York state benefits package, including paid leave, health, dental, vision, and retirement benefits, and family-friendly policies. Additionally, OAG offers a robust Workplace Flexibilities Program with multiple options for employees, including telecommuting (up to two days per week) and alternative work schedules.

Candidates from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply. The OAG is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to workplace diversity.
