Agency Attorney 2
3 months ago
The Tort Division of the Law Department identifies, investigates, and resolves Tort Claims brought against the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) with the goal of minimizing the cost of disposition.
The Tort division is currently building its capacity to dispose of claims and actions through a dedicated unit focused on the cost-effective resolution of appropriate matters. The successful candidate will be instrumental in launching this specialized unit, developing disposition strategies, interacting with opposing counsel, the courts, arbitrators, witnesses, and NYCHA principals. This position requires a strong commitment to teamwork as our attorneys and support professionals work together to develop cost-effective resolutions of each matter. Position also requires the ability to draft succinct case abstracts that summarize the facts, law and procedural posture that informs settlement valuation.
Agency Attorneys manage a caseload of tort claims and actions by independently developing defense strategies to inform the day-to-day direction of outside counsel and investigative firms. This specific role calls for a thoughtful mix of legal analysis supporting dispositive motion practice, and negotiated resolutions by engaging in timely settlement conferences, “blockbuster” court calendars, and mediations.
The ideal candidate will possess an in-depth understanding of substantive New York State tort and procedural law. Experience defending municipalities in personal injury actions and demonstrated acumen advising a landlord-client on the resolution of tort liability claims is a plus.
The work on these matters will include, but not be limited to the following:
1.Review and analyze claims, complaints, and reports from outside counsel, as well as all parties' discovery and medical records.
2.Review and analyze reports from investigators, NYCHA's field staff and various City agencies in order to gather all documents and identify all witnesses necessary to obtain a cost-effective resolution of each case.
3.Evaluate each case or claim to assess the best strategy to bring the matter to resolution, whether by motion, settlement, trial, or appeal.
4.Set reserves.
5.When necessary, obtain appropriate settlement authority and negotiate settlement of the claim.
6.Review and adjust vendor invoices (outside counsel and investigation firms) for compliance with NYCHA retainer agreements.
Note: The selected candidate will be required to maintain confidentiality regarding all NYCHA proceedings.
