Our division represents the Department of Commerce in civil actions before state and federal courts as well as in administrative proceedings before boards, commissions, and administrative law judges. Our attorneys work with client agencies within the Department of Commerce—the Divisions of Consumer Protection, Professional Licensing, Securities, and Real Estate—in developing cases and executing litigation strategies.

• protect consumers from deceptive business practices;
• regulate the professional standards for over thirty professions, from midwives to funeral services and nearly everything in between;
• stop the unlicensed and fraudulent sales of securities and commodities; and
• oversee the professional standards for real estate brokers, appraisers, and mortgage lenders.

Successful applicants can maintain their own caseload, assist and mentor other attorneys and staff, collaborate with clients, maintain high professional standards, and set and meet meaningful goals. We are looking for colleagues who are strong listeners, writers, and communicators; who are skilled in civil litigation and trials; and who have an enthusiasm for being part of a team.
