• Ensuring up-to-date status tracking and reporting on filed eviction cases.
• Handling all aspects of general litigation involving CHA and related duties and serving as lead and trial counsel in state and federal court, and in administrative forums.
• Evaluating issues and disputes in the pre-litigation stage to determine appropriate course of action that fairly balances competing interests and facilitates favorable resolution.
• Providing research, analysis, and written recommendations on housing related regulations, CHA policies, federal and state law, and municipal ordinances.
• Advising client departments on how to achieve goals in compliance with applicable policies, rules, and law, and leading such initiatives as needed.

The ideal candidate will have a minimum of ten (10) years of litigation experience, including strong experience litigating eviction and/or cases in other substantive areas of need for CHA's Litigation Team.

Our team is seeking an attorney who will bring integrity; a strong work ethic; strong communication, analytical and client service skills; sound judgment; a growth mindset; the ability to work cooperatively with supervisors/colleagues/diverse client departments; and a willingness and the perseverance to learn new substantive areas and skills. Given the breadth and depth of this role, counsel will bring a demonstrated successful track record of timely and high performance of duties, including a strong work ethic; timely attendance for judicial proceedings; thorough preparation; strong research, legal writing, and oral advocacy skills; and be proficient in the use of technology to manage deadlines and other case-related responsibilities, e.g., Excel.
