About this role
Reporting to the Director of Legal Services, the Consumer Law Staff Attorney will provide civil legal services to survivors of domestic and gender-based violence residing in URI shelters, with a particular focus on financial advocacy and economic justice. Survivors frequently face complex financial abuse, including coerced debt, identity theft, and fraud, which can create long-term barriers to safety and independence. This is an exciting opportunity to help expand a growing area of advocacy for survivors in New York City. The Staff Attorney will collaborate with city and state partners through the newly created Economic Justice for Survivors Collective, an emerging initiative focused on implementing New York State’s new Coerced Debt Law.
