The Navy and Marine Corps team offers innovative, exciting and meaningful work linking military and civilian talents to achieve our mission and safeguard our freedoms. The Department of the Navy Office of the General Counsel has been serving the Department since 1941 and is committed to developing innovative legal solutions to the business and other challenges facing the Navy and Marine Corps to enhance the war fighting capability of the Naval Service. You will find our attorneys stationed across the United States and worldwide, working with Navy and Marine Corps personnel wherever the Department’s business is conducted. DON OGC also offers a great place to build a career. Based on the DON OGC annual employee survey, DON OGC attorneys consistently report the highest marks for workforce collegiality, cooperation, and meaningful, high quality work.
There are anticipated vacancies for attorneys to serve as an Assistant Counsel within the Office of Counsel, Military Sealift Command (MSC) headquarters office located in Norfolk, VA. These positions will be located in Norfolk, VA. The MSC Office of Counsel provides legal services to MSC headquarters and field activities. MSC is a major Navy Command and the Navy component of the joint service United States Transportation Command. MSC is responsible for a variety of missions, including providing strategic sealift for the Department of Defense, direct fleet support to the Navy combatant fleet, and conducting special missions involving the operation of ships for Department of Defense components. MSC is unique in that it is both a fleet operational agency and a procurement activity. MSC operates a fleet of approximately 125 vessels including both Government-owned and privately-owned chartered dry cargo vessels, tankers, naval auxiliary ships, and special mission ships. MSC’s Government-owned ships are operated either by civil service mariners or contract operators who employ private sector mariners. The Office of Counsel has a varied workload covering the full range of the DON Office of the General Counsel (OGC) practice areas, with emphasis on federal acquisition law, civilian personnel law (CPL), maritime law, fiscal law, ethics and standards of conduct, and information law.
The anticipated vacancies will generally be in the federal acquisition, civilian personnel and administrative and general law practice areas, but successful applicants may be required to provide legal services across the full range of OGC practice areas relevant to the MSC mission. The positions have a full performance level of GS-14, but may be filled at the GS-11, GS-12, GS-13 or GS-14 level, depending on the qualifications of the successful applicant.

To be eligible for selection at the GS-14 level, the applicant must have at least three and-one-half years of recent, substantial, and relevant professional legal experience. Among qualified applicants, preference is expected to be given to hiring the best-qualified applicant at the lower grade level for at least one position. The grade level offered will be based upon the successful applicant’s qualifications and funding availability. As noted above, it is anticipated that up to two vacancies may be filled from this announcement, depending on vacancies at the time of evaluation of the resumes and on qualifications of the applicants.
