The Office of the District Attorney, Bronx County (“BXDA”), is charged with the twin goals of ensuring public safety and striving for equal justice for the over 1.4 million residents of Bronx County.

In furtherance of this mission, the BXDA seeks an experienced and enthusiastic Labor Relations Attorney.
