E-mail the Corporation Counsel

I am pleased to present you with our new and updated Web site. The Law Department, the third-largest law firm in New York City, represents the City, its elected officials, and its numerous agencies in a wide variety of matters ranging from the routine negligence cases to the most difficult, cutting-edge constitutional challenges.

I am proud of the work done by the Law Department during my first four years as Corporation Counsel. I am also very proud to work for Mayor Bloomberg, who has brought a refreshing balance of business and public service philosophies to New York City. I look forward to continuing this tradition of public service and working to ensure that the Law Department remains one of this country's great legal offices.

This Web site provides you with information on what we do at the Law Department and what our recent priorities and accomplishments have been. You will also find information on employment opportunities. Please feel free to contact us, so that we may continue serving you in the best way possible.

Sincerely,

Michael A. Cardozo
Corporation Counsel of
the City of New York
