Policy Programs
Office of Chief Legal Advisor
The Division has four (4) different program area openings for the reassignment:
Civil Enforcement Program - The Antitrust Division's civil enforcement program protects and promotes competition on behalf of the American people. The Antitrust Division has statutory authority to challenge mergers and acquisitions that may lessen competition or tend to create a monopoly and to investigate and prosecute other civil non-merger offenses.
Criminal Enforcement Program - The Antitrust Division's criminal enforcement program holds executives and corporations accountable for antitrust crimes. The Antitrust Division's criminal enforcement program prosecutes individuals and corporate entities for collusion, monopolization, and other crimes that undermine the free market. It promotes competition and innovation while protecting consumers, workers, and taxpayers.
Policy and Advocacy Program - The Antitrust Division has several components that perform specialized Policy and Advocacy roles, including the Appellate Section, the International Section, and the Competition Policy and Advocacy Section.
Office of Chief Legal Advisor - The Office of the Chief Legal Advisor (OCLA) is comprised of attorney advisors and performs many of the same duties as a General Counsel's Office. It advises the Assistant Attorney General (AAG), the AAG's deputies, and Division managers and staff on potential areas of legal risk or vulnerability to the Division's operations as well as issues concerning the Division's jurisdiction and law enforcement authority. OCLA is seeking one attorney to assist with a variety of duties and assignments and welcomes applications from attorneys working from any location.
Please note: A reassignment is not guaranteed. Decisions will consider section and office staffing needs, applicant's knowledge and experience, attorney skill levels across sections, and the applicant's prior performance.
