Division Chief
Health Care Fair Competition Bureau
Antitrust Division
Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell is looking for an experienced and highly motivated attorney to join her management team as the Chief of the Antitrust Division. The Antitrust Division protects the people, state agencies, and businesses of Massachusetts from anticompetitive practices and helps maintain and encourage a competitive and vibrant economy through fair and effective enforcement of the antitrust laws. The Antitrust Division investigates and challenges anticompetitive mergers, price-fixing agreements, abuses of monopoly power, and other illegal practices by companies, both local and national, that harm Massachusetts consumers and important state interests. Recent antitrust cases or matters brought by the Attorney General have involved, among other areas, airlines, online technology platforms/services, health care, communications, and pharmaceuticals.
Primary Duties: The Division Chief, along with a Deputy Chief, is responsible for supervising and directing the Division’s Assistant Attorneys General and other staff. The primary responsibilities of the Division Chief include the day-to-day supervision of all aspects of civil enforcement, including the review and approval of all civil investigative demands, civil complaints, briefs, and other court filings, as well as the development of investigative strategy and negotiation of civil settlements. The Division Chief is also responsible for the overall administration of the Division, including personnel matters, drafting periodic reports on the Division’s work, and attending regular meetings with the Attorney General and other senior staff. As time permits, the Division Chief personally handles significant or sensitive matters, including aspects of litigation or trial, settlement negotiations, and non-litigation projects. The Division Chief also works with the Deputy Division Chief in mentoring Division staff and assisting them with skills development.
Antitrust Division Attorneys represent the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in investigations and litigation before state and federal courts involving the enforcement of state and federal antitrust laws. Cases cover a broad range of industries and often pose complex and, in certain circumstances, cutting-edge legal and economic issues. In addition to supervising Division legal and economic staff and personally handling aspects of cases, the Division Chief will work with other attorneys, including, in some cases, Assistant Attorneys General from other states across the country and attorneys within the United States Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission. The Division Chief may be involved in policy development, including drafting or reviewing proposed legislation.
Position Type: Full Time/Exempt. Our current hybrid model includes some remote workdays for most positions.
Salary: $137,417
