City of New York • New York, NY • 1h ago

Job Description

The Labor and Employment Law Division of the New York City Law Department seeks an Electronic Discovery attorney with a minimum of three years of litigation experience to assist Division attorneys with electronic discovery production. The Labor and Employment Law Division defends the City in complex and challenging state and federal actions arising out of the City's role as an employer. 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. The Electronic Discovery attorney will assist Division attorneys in conducting paper and electronic searches for document production and will also work with other City agencies' IT systems in order to assist in discovery matters.

The Electronic Discovery attorney will be expected to advise on all phases of e-discovery, including issuing preservation notices, drafting and negotiating agreements pertaining to electronically stored information (ESI), evaluating confidentiality stipulations, and reviewing correspondence and motions, both affirmative and responsive, related to the production of ESI. The Electronic Discovery attorney will also attend meet-and-confers with adversaries and court conferences at which ESI issues will be addressed.

Salary Information

The Law Department sets salaries for new attorneys based on their post law school legal experience, which typically aligns with their law school graduation year.

For 0-5 years of legal experience: $ 87,737-$122,300

For 5-10 years of legal experience: $122,300-137,188

For 10-15 years of legal experience: $137,188-$159,521

Flexible Remote Work: Allows limited, irregular work from home days.

Citywide Pilot Program: Allows attorneys to work remotely on two set days per week, subject to Division approval and staffing needs. Participants must maintain a single designated remote work location, and in person obligations take precedence over scheduled remote days. This pilot is currently being tested across City agencies and is not yet permanent.
