Senior Assistant County Attorney ID-8592
Performs highly responsible legal work of a variety, difficulty, and complexity requiring prior professional experience for the delivery of legal services in one or more primary and secondary practice areas (including insurance defense, collections, land use, tax and finance, labor relations, employment law, workers compensation, environmental and general government law), to the Board of County Commissioners, Departments and other Boards and Commissioners. Work is performed with significant independent exercise of professional discretion and judgment, and is reviewed and evaluated by the appointed County Attorney.
An employee in this class prepares, reviews, and analyzes legal documents, briefs, legal opinions, and drafts of proposed legislation. Responsibilities include the representation of various Departments and elected officials in litigation and/or administrative proceedings, as well as responding to a variety of legal questions, complicated by the absence of legal precedents clearly and directly applicable or by different possible constructions that might be placed on either the facts or the law. Disposition involves specialization in certain legal fields, and assignments include matters of substantial importance.
In the event of a natural or man-made disaster that may threaten the area, the employee will be required to perform emergency duties as directed.
This position requires public interaction or regular appearances before the Board of County Commissioners and therefore does not permit a claim for protection of your place of work if you will be claiming an exemption from Public Records under Chapter 119, Florida Statutes.
