The Transportation Bureau of the Nebraska Attorney General’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.
