Job description

Job Description And Duties

The Antitrust Law Section of the California Department of Justice offers unparalleled opportunities to engage in some of the most complex and significant legal battles in the country. We seek attorneys with antitrust or trial experience to help us investigate and/or litigate some of the most high-profile antitrust cases: Live Nation / Ticketmaster, Nexstar / TEGNA, Warner / Paramount , Amazon, and others. In the last year, new attorneys on our growing team have taken scores of depositions, argued substantive motions in state and federal courts, and conducted direct and cross examination of key fact and expert witnesses at trial.

The Antitrust Law Section is the state’s primary defense against practices that undermine the competitive process. By bringing cases under both state and federal law, in state and federal courts, the section addresses a wide spectrum of anticompetitive conduct, from localized criminal conspiracies to global civil antitrust violations. As a Deputy Attorney General Supervisor, you will step into a role that demands both sophisticated legal acumen and a deep commitment to the public good.

The Deputy Attorney General Supervisor both supervises teams and often acts as the lead attorney on the most difficult and complex legal work in the Section. The position requires interpersonal skills and the desire to manage people, along with the highest level of independent judgment and legal ability.

The Deputy Attorney General Supervisor directs and monitors the work of others, evaluates their performance in both formal and informal performance evaluations, handles general administrative matters, assists with staffing assignments and priorities across the Section, participates in the hiring of various team members, and coordinates and facilitates communications with other state Attorney General’s Offices and other federal and state government agencies working on similar issues.

We understand that experienced attorneys seek more than just a challenging caseload; they seek meaningful substantive opportunities to grow their expertise and build a legacy. State antitrust enforcement is enjoining a renaissance, and the California Department of Justice is leading the way. Come join us!

This is a permanent position. There is a separate posting for a limited-term SDAG position (JC-530084). Please apply to each JC separately if interested in both positions.
