Position Overview
Job Description
PNO-943-060526-LR
At the Port of New Orleans, our mission is to drive economic prosperity throughout our tri-parish jurisdiction: Jefferson, Orleans and St. Bernard. We collaborate with state and local partners to ensure that we can continue to be a vital link to the world for businesses and consumers throughout Louisiana and beyond.
Port NOLA seeks a strategic legal professional who excels at both independent work and collaborative support within a dynamic public agency environment. The ideal candidate is a skilled legal researcher and writer who can navigate complex public law questions while maintaining focus on agency objectives.
The candidate should be someone who thrives on variety—equally comfortable drafting contracts and policies, conducting in-depth legal research, and managing litigation from initial response through trial. We need a detail-oriented professional who can handle sensitive public records requests and employment matters with discretion and expertise.
The successful candidate will be a proactive team player who can work closely with senior attorneys and supervisors while also confidently representing the agency independently in hearings and court proceedings. The candidate should bring strong analytical thinking skills, the ability to respond rapidly to emerging legal issues, and a commitment to serving the public interest through sound legal counsel and strategic decision-making.
If you have brilliant research and analytical skills—this could be the opportunity for you!
