The incumbent is assigned legal cases at all stages of litigation arising within the Region, sometimes involving complex and difficult factual, procedural, substantive, and administrative issues that potentially have an effect on positions taken by the agency heads on programmatic enforcement both regionally and nationally and can have an impact on one or more particular industries. The cases sometimes involve research, analysis, and working with experts. The cases also can involve large sums of money, multi-establishment employers with large numbers of employees, important enforcement policies, and novel issues. May present oral arguments in court or at administrative hearings.



The incumbent reviews assigned cases to determine whether to recommend litigation. Prepares legal analysis and makes litigation recommendations for the Regional Solicitor or other supervising attorney, evaluating cases in terms of the factual evidence, the legal and procedural issues involved, and other considerations that bear on the propriety of litigation.

The incumbent may direct all phases of the case during litigation, including settlement negotations and trial. May also be assigned to work on cases involving delicate matters in which the government has assumed a heavy burden of proof and/or cases where there has been media attention or interest from members of Congress.

Some of the incumbent's cases are vigorously opposed by senior legal counsel employed by labor and employment law sections of national law firms or otherwise highly qualified and very experienced litigation counsel.
