Seeking an elite Federal Trial Attorney or Boutique Litigation Firm to lead a high-stakes litigation effort in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. We are looking for counsel with a dual-specialization in 42 U.S.C. § 1981 (Civil Rights) and Federal Administrative Fraud.
Required Legal Skillsets:
- Grant Fiduciary & Compliance Expertise: Deep familiarity with the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200) and the administration of federal/local grant funds (e.g., DOL, WIOA, or similar). Must be able to audit financial records to identify misapplication of public funds or False Claims Act (FCA) violations.
- Section 1981 Litigation: Proven experience in managing "But-For" causation standards in the District of Columbia. Counsel must have a track record of pursuing uncapped punitive damages and establishing individual liability against organizational leadership.
- Administrative Pretext Strategy: Expertise in using documentary contradictions, electronic metadata, and contradictory personnel records to secure Partial Summary Judgment on the issue of pretext.
- Regulatory & Oversight Pressure: Experience in navigating the intersection of civil litigation and government oversight, including interfacing with Offices of Inspector General (OIG) and regulatory licensing boards.
Professional Qualifications:
- Extensive practice history in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia or other state court
- Demonstrated success in utilizing state administrative findings (e.g., DOL/Unemployment) to establish issue preclusion or estoppel in federal court.
- Background in White-Collar Criminal Defense or Federal Prosecution (AUSA/DOJ) is highly preferred, given the administrative fraud elements of the case.
- A firm culture focused on Trial Readiness and aggressive discovery rather than early-stage settlement.
Scope of Engagement: The selected counsel will be responsible for executing a litigation strategy designed to achieve total accountability and maximum regulatory exposure for the defendant. This includes filing for Partial Summary Judgment on Liability and leveraging financial malfeasance to protect public fund integrity.
