The Enforcement and Affirmative Litigation Branch seeks experienced attorneys to bring high-impact affirmative litigation to protect public health and safety and ensure nationwide compliance with federal law. Attorneys will litigate cuttingedge matters, enforce key consumer protection statutes, and challenge laws that undermine federal policy. For meaningful responsibility and impactful public service, the Branch offers a frontline role in the Department's major civil enforcement initiatives.
The Enforcement and Affirmative Litigation Branch is seeking a Trial Attorney to represent the United States in a broad range of affirmative civil litigation. The Branch is structured into two sections: an Enforcement Section that pursues cases under key consumer protection and publicsafety statutes, and an Affirmative Litigation Section that files lawsuits to ensure nationwide compliance with federal law against state, local, or private actors. Trial Attorneys in the Branch play a central role on these matterspartnering with client agencies, leading investigations and litigation, and coordinating with Department leadership.
Trial Attorneys in the Enforcement Section enforce consumer protection laws that safeguard consumers' health, safety, economic security, data privacy, and identity integrity. The Section tackles some of the most urgent enforcement challenges facing consumers, including harmful opioid products, unsafe food and drugs, deceptive trade practices, and data privacy violations. Trial Attorneys in this Section investigate unlawful conduct and pursue enforcement actions nationwide. They handle all phases of district court litigation, including taking and defending depositions, managing written discovery, conducting legal research and analysis, writing briefs and other documents, attending court conferences, arguing motions, and conducting trials. Recent cases include suits targeting sellers and distributors of unapproved vaping devices and 7OH products, a suit against a company for failing to report dangerous and defective tools that injured hundreds of consumers, and injunction actions targeting entities that manufacture, sell, or distribute adulterated, unsafe, or deficiently labeled food, medical devices, and drugs.
The Section also brings enforcement actions against some of the world's largest corporations for unfair and defective practices that trap consumers in online subscriptions, collect and retain children's personal information, and engage in deceptive data privacy practices.
Trial Attorneys in the Affirmative Litigation Section represent the United States by filing lawsuits against states, municipalities, and private entities that interfere with or obstruct federal policies, ensuring nationwide compliance with the U.S. Constitution and federal law. Lawsuits often involve claims that state and local laws are preempted by federal law or unlawfully regulate or discriminate against the federal government. Trial Attorneys engage in all phases of district court litigation, including conducting legal research and analysis, writing briefs and other documents, attending court conferences, and arguing motions. Aside from litigation, Trial Attorneys also prepare statements of interest or amicus briefs in cases in which the United States is not a party but nonetheless has a vested interest. The Section's work touches on a wide range of issues impacting American consumers, including artificial intelligence, affordability, energy independence, public benefits, consumer goods, immigration, and public safety. Recent cases include a challenge to California cities over unlawful natural gas bans, a challenge to Illinois laws that provide benefits to illegal aliens that are not provided to U.S. citizens, and a challenge to California laws that drive up national egg prices and burden consumers.
