Assistant Attorney General - Antitrust and Data Privacy

The Antitrust and Data Privacy Division of the Office of the Utah Attorney General has an immediate vacancy for an attorney to focus primarily upon antitrust enforcement and merger competition review matters. The anticipated start date for this position is as soon as is reasonable,considering the successful applicant s current responsibilities.   The attorney will primarily practice antitrust law but may be tasked with some data privacy law matters as needed. Antitrust cases may be brought under a combination of the Utah Antitrust Act and federal antitrust law and include both enforcement actions and merger reviews.  Data privacy cases may involve enforcement of the Utah Protection of Personal Information Act and the Utah Consumer Privacy Act. These are typically complex cases that involve extensive discovery and motion practice and require familiarity with federal and state procedural rules. The attorney will work with the other attorneys and support staff in the Antitrust and Data Privacy Division,the United States Department of Justice,the Federal Trade Commission,other federal agencies,assistant attorneys general from other states,private counsel,including class action counsel,and various types of experts. The job requires occasional travel. Ideally,this position would be filled with an attorney who has five or more years of antitrust litigation and/or merger experience,including MDL practice.  For a more experienced attorney,significant relevant trial experience is desirable,but not required. In addition to antitrust law knowledge and relevant trial experience,preference will be given to an applicant with formal education (e.g. masters,major,or minor) in economics or accounting.  For lawyers who do not have antitrust enforcement or merger competition review experience,related experience (e.g. as counsel for merging companies,as counsel preparing prospectuses or financial disclosures for companies) will be given appropriate weight. Membership in the Utah State Bar in good standing is required prior to completing probation; membership in good standing in the bar of a State or territory of the United States is required for probationary employment. The position is located in Salt Lake City,Utah. Telecommuting is permitted in accordance with established office policies as modified from time to time. Candidates are expected to reside in Utah by the end of the probationary period but may request permission to reside outside of Utah on a case-by-case basis.
