This AGC position contributes to our goal of creating and implementing best-practice legal policies and procedures that help our law department become a world-class high-performing organization.  The position may offer the opportunity to supervise paralegals and provide advice, coaching and mentoring to team members and peers.
What will be my duties and responsibilities in this job?

The Navy and Marine Corps team offers innovative, exciting and meaningful work linking military and civilian talents to achieve our mission and safeguard our freedoms. The Department of the Navy Office of the General Counsel has been serving the Department since 1941 and is committed to developing innovative legal solutions to the business and other challenges facing the Navy and Marine Corps to enhance the war fighting capability of the Naval Service. You will find our attorneys stationed across the United States and worldwide, working with Navy and Marine Corps personnel wherever the Department's business is conducted.

There are anticipated vacancies for attorneys to serve as an Assistant Counsel within the Office of Counsel, Military Sealift Command (MSC) headquarters office located in Norfolk, VA. These positions will be located in Norfolk, VA. The MSC Office of Counsel provides legal services to MSC headquarters and field activities. MSC is a major Navy Command and the Navy component of the joint service United States Transportation Command. MSC is responsible for a variety of missions, including providing strategic sealift for the Department of Defense, direct fleet support to the Navy combatant fleet, and conducting special missions involving the operation of ships for Department of Defense components. MSC is unique in that it is both a fleet operational agency and a procurement activity. MSC operates a fleet of approximately 125 vessels including both Government-owned and privately-owned chartered dry cargo vessels, tankers, naval auxiliary ships, and special mission ships. MSC's Government-owned ships are operated either by civil service mariners or contract operators who employ private sector mariners.

To be eligible for selection at the GS-14 level, the applicant must have at least three and-one-half years of recent, substantial, and relevant professional legal experience.
