Job Description

Deputy City Attorney Position and Responsibilities

An attorney on the Government Team typically serves in an advisory role as general counsel to a mix of City officials and agencies. In that capacity, the attorney may perform many functions - providing interpretations and advice, both orally and in writing, formally and informally, on a broad range of legal issues. The attorney's role could include interpreting City or State law or advising on the legal risks of a particular government action; drafting ordinances, ballot measures, and administrative regulations; reviewing contracts for legal and procedural sufficiency; and providing legal advice to commissioners before and during commission meetings. The attorney functions as the Office's expert on laws administered by the City officials and agencies that the attorney advises. The attorney also may develop expertise in areas of law that transcend issues particular to the attorney's client agencies and are relevant to many or all components of City government.

One of the two attorneys who join the Government Team will advise San Francisco's Assessment Appeals Board (AAB) and the City employees who support it, as one of the attorney's primary assignments. The AAB is comprised of appointed officials who consider quasi-adjudicatory appeals and resolve disputes between the San Francisco Assessor and taxpayers over values of locally assessed property. The attorney will attend hearings, prepare confidential memoranda for the AAB members, draft public decisions and findings of fact in AAB cases, and provide a range of substantive and procedural advice to the AAB and its members. In addition to advising the AAB, the attorney will also advise other client agencies as described in the previous paragraph.
