Staff Counsel

The Staff Counsel will investigate and prosecute businesses engaged in illegal conduct and review certain license applications. They will also identify issues or patterns of concern to propose for investigations and oversee industry-wide regulatory compliance reports. Undertaking legal research and drafting memoranda on legal issues facing the agency, they will draft general correspondence and legal documents. Drafting charging documents such as Summonses and represent the Agency at hearings in New York City’s administrative tribunal is also a part of the job. As needed, they will work with other attorneys to prepare for larger investigations that culminate in trials before the Trials Division of the administrative tribunal. Negotiating and drafting settlement agreements, developing and drafting proposed agency rules, reviewing and editing Licensing and outreach materials, and participating in agency outreach and trainings for business and public education are also essential functions.
