About the role

The New York City Department of Investigation is seeking an examining attorney to serve as Counsel in the General Counsel Unit. The role involves handling subpoenas, FOIL requests, and information from prosecutors, while supporting investigations and legal analyses. Ideal candidates will conduct thorough legal research, draft memos, and prepare investigative reports, communicating clearly with City agencies, vendors, and officials. Strong ethics and professional standards are essential.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
