    Description

    The New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) provides for the safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible movement of people and goods in the City of New York and maintains and enhances the transportation infrastructure crucial to the economic vitality and quality of life of City residents.

    DOT is an equal opportunity employer, committed to recruiting and maintaining a diverse workforce in an open and inclusive environment.

    DOT oversees one of the most complex urban transportation networks in the world.

    DOT's staff manages an annual operating budget of $1.1 billion, along with 6,300 miles of streets and highways, over 12,000 miles of sidewalk, nearly 800 bridges and tunnels, including the iconic East River bridges, and the Staten Island Ferry.

    The attorney will draft and review legislation; draft agency rules; provide counsel to the agency on policy matters; conduct legal research; prepare legal memoranda; and coordinate with various external agencies, including the Corporation Counsel, OATH, DOF, and NYPD.

    The attorney, at times, will directly represent the agency in limited types of cases, such as certain small claims cases or FOIL-related Article 78 proceedings.

    The successful candidate will have an ability to handle a high volume of matters and function under tight time constraints.

    Strong communication skills, both oral and written are required, as well as the ability to prioritize projects.
