Job Description:
The Transportation Bureau of the Nebraska Attorney General&rsquo;s Office is seeking a highly qualified and skilled litigator and legal advisor. This attorney will assist the Nebraska Department of Transportation with some of its most complex issues and will focus on highway construction issues, construction contractor claims, the construction bid letting process, and alternative project delivery methods.
 
 
This attorney is expected to be a skilled litigator with courtroom experience in important litigation and should be interested in litigating various types of cases that arise within a dynamic and driven transportation agency with 1900 plus employees and 10,000 miles of highway property. Examples of the types of litigation handled by Bureau attorneys range from contract law, property law, and personal injury, and include matters such as condemnation actions, inverse condemnations, tort claims, employment law issues, and workers compensation. Experience in each of these areas is not required, but an interest in handling various types of litigated matters is strongly preferred. Compensation would be commensurate with skills and experience, within the range of comparably qualified litigators in State or local government practice.
 
 
The Transportation Bureau will allow the attorney to further develop litigation and advising skills and will provide you with the time necessary to litigate cases in a way that will make positive results more likely. The attorney will also work closely with NDOT officials to make sure the Department is best positioned to minimize and mitigate disputes and claims that may result in litigation.
 
 
The Transportation Bureau encourages attorneys to develop a positive work life balance. The environment of the Bureau welcomes collaboration, and litigators in most cases will have colleagues serve at trial in the capacity of second chair. The Bureau works with a State Agency that focuses on engineering and Agency representatives are competent and driven. Close interaction with the agency on difficult issues leads to a sense of camaraderie and leads to successful and satisfactory interactions and results.
 
 
Applicant accepting a job offer must pass a background check.
