Civil Enforcement Division, Economic Justice Section

The Civil Enforcement Division of the Oregon Department of Justice seeks a motivated, enthusiastic, and experienced attorney with a strong interest or background in antitrust and false claims to join our Economic Justice Section. This section brings legal actions on behalf of the Attorney General to protect consumers and working families and ensure healthy competition in the marketplace, so that Oregonians are offered the best goods and services at the best price. The work often involves cutting edge issues of law and policy across an array of traditional and emerging industries.

The attorney in this position will focus on antitrust and false claims enforcement. Working alone or in teams, this attorney will apply their skills and experience to identify, investigate and prosecute complex matters related to antitrust or false claims enforcement actions. Duties will include issuing investigative demands, taking sworn witness interviews, and working with consulting experts and analysts to evaluate legal and strategic issues. When warranted, this attorney will seek injunctive relief, civil penalties, or consumer restitution through a negotiated settlement or, if necessary, through litigation. The attorney in this position may also participate in or lead multistate efforts to enforce antitrust law, and the attorney may collaborate with federal antitrust enforcers. In addition, this attorney may be tasked with assisting on other Section matters as needed.

Questions regarding this position may be directed to Tim Smith, Attorney-in-Charge, Economic Justice Section, at tim.smith@doj.oregon.gov.

In an ongoing effort to attract and retain diverse candidates, we are hopeful you’ll share our recruitment with members of your association, organization, or section members. I am available by phone or email if you have questions.
