About The Position
The Attorney IV will serve as defense counsel for the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services in legal actions under the Tort Claims Act, N.C.G.S. § 143-291 et seq. The attorney will handle claims of varying types and complexity, including complex, protracted, high-profile catastrophic injury and property-damage tort claims. The role also involves defending civil personal-injury and property-damage actions brought against individual State employees under the Defense of State Employees Act, N.C.G.S. § 143-300.1 et seq. Assigned matters may be especially challenging, involve issues of first impression, have significant appellate implications, or directly affect the client's legal and fiscal condition. The attorney is responsible for proficient representation throughout litigation, including drafting pleadings, managing extensive discovery, participating in pretrial hearings and trials, and handling appeals. The attorney will represent the State before the North Carolina Court of Appeals and Supreme Court in Tort Claims actions and criminal appeals. The attorney is expected to perform with minimal review while keeping the supervising attorney informed of developments requiring additional review or input. The position also responds as needed to the client agency's questions about negligence and risk management, speaks at client conferences, teaches workshops upon request, performs other duties assigned by the section head, and travels to locations where client matters and litigation are conducted.

Responsibilities
- Defend the Department of Health and Human Services in legal actions brought under the Tort Claims Act.
