**This position may be eligible for remote work for up to 2 days per week, pursuant to the Flexible Work Pilot Program. The NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) is seeking an experienced litigator to supervise worker protection litigation. The role will involve leading litigation to enforce groundbreaking laws that protect employees and independent contractors. These cutting-edge laws include sick and safe leave laws; scheduling laws that protect fast food and retail workers; and minimum pay rate and other protections for delivery drivers. Since 2014, we have recovered over $250 million for workers through enforcement – more than half of this amount in just the first year of the Mamdani Administration. We have raised pay by over $2 billion via the minimum pay rate we set for delivery workers classified as independent contractors. Most recently, the agency reached a $131 settlement with DoorDash to resolve alleged systematic pay violations. The ideal candidate is a self-motivated, experienced litigator with excellent writing and editing skills who enjoys creative legal work, a fast-paced environment, and collaborative leadership, and is committed to supporting and developing early-career attorneys.
