The Managing Attorney will lead the Unit’s advocacy and legal services, oversee intake, case representation, systemic policy work, litigation, communications, community education, and provide leadership, supervision, and mentorship to staff while engaging with city, state, utility agencies, advocacy groups, and the communities served.
