The City of Phoenix Law Department is comprised of two sections, the City Attorney's Office, which handles representing the City in civil matters, and the City Prosecutor's Office, which handles the prosecution of misdemeanor crimes committed in Phoenix. Assistant City Attorneys in the Civil Division of the Law Department work in one of six areas: Public Safety, Litigation, Transportation, Human Resources, City Services, and Community Development. 

The City has an immediate need for an Assistant City Attorney IV to fill an opening advising the Streets Transportation Department.  This position includes issues regarding Title 34 construction, rights-of-way, cable licensing, revocable permitting, and intergovernmental agreements. 

Assistant City Attorneys review, negotiate, and draft contracts and participate in other transactional work; provide client support; defend litigation; engage in government law practice; and handle all legal matters of the assigned client department.  They are expected to perform difficult professional and administrative legal work, including revisions to the Phoenix City Code, and to consult with client decision makers regarding relevant legal issues.  These attorneys may also be required to staff public meetings and represent the City during administrative hearings or court proceedings. Assistant City Attorneys report to an Assistant Chief Counsel and generally work independently in performing their duties.  All attorneys in the Law Department are assigned and may be reassigned based on the best interests of the City, as determined by the City Attorney.

This position is eligible for up to 4 days a week of remote work per week, with one in-office day for meeting with your section, implemented at the discretion of the City Attorney.
