Columbus, United States State of Ohio Full time

About Us:

The Ohio Consumers' Counsel advocates and educates to secure for Ohioans affordable, reliable, and equitable residential utility services that are essential to their well-being.

The Office of the Ohio Consumers' Counsel, the state's voice for millions of Ohio residential utility consumers, seeks an experienced litigator with a passion for public service to serve as an Assistant Consumers' Counsel in its Legal Department. This position is an opportunity to help consumers, including at-risk and low-income Ohioans, regarding justice for their electric, natural gas, telephone, and water utility services. Since the legislature created the agency in 1976, we have sought lower utility bills and reliable utility service for residential consumers. At OCC, we put Consumers First.

We currently offer a hybrid working environment.

What You'll Do:

The attorney will provide legal advice to management and the Agency director (the Consumers' Counsel) for leading the Agency's consumer protection role. The attorney will litigate and negotiate the Agency's consumer protection issues in forums that principally include the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO), the Ohio Supreme Court, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Other services can include legislative advocacy, where utility regulation and consumer protection are set forth in Ohio law.

The attorney will need an understanding of utility regulation - that broadly involves rate-setting, service quality issues and policy matters such as the agency's favoring of effective competitive markets over monopolies for providing services to consumers. The attorney will assist with retaining and functionally supervising consultants for this work. The attorney will need to work well within Agency teams and also be adept at independent work requiring personal initiative.

What's in it for you:

At the State of Ohio, we take care of the team that cares for Ohioans. We provide a variety of quality, competitive benefits to eligible full-time and part-time employees. For a list of all the State of Ohio Benefits, visit our Total Rewards website Our benefits package includes:

Medical Coverage
