[NCASG] General Counsel Classifications

[Winegarner, Jennifer (MMB)]

Hello,

The state of Minnesota is currently working on creating a series of classifications specific to work performed by state agency General Counsel positions.  These positions differ from our Attorney class series positions which provide professional legal services and legal protection against lawsuits opposed to the interests of the state; provide prosecutorial assistance to enforce regulations or laws; and represent the state in legal matters that result from day to day operation of the business of the state. Attorney class positions require delegation from the Office of the Attorney General.

By contrast, positions performing General Counsel work do not require delegation from the Office of the Attorney General. The  purpose of these positions is providing legal advice and counsel, legal direction, and supervision to all of the Department's legal activities. These functions include the oversight, direction, and coordination of the Department's contracts, litigation, legal advice, data privacy functions, administrative law functions, rulemaking, legal policies, negotiations and settlements, and legal compliance activities. Depending on the size and complexity of the agency, General Counsel positions currently span from the individual contributor level to Manager level.

If your state has a class or class series specific to General Counsel work, I'd appreciate learning more about how you are classifying these jobs. I am looking for example benchmark classes, compensation, and organizational structure.

Feel free to contact me directly for additional clarification.  Thank you in advance for your help!
