Description of Job
WHAT YOU WILL DO
The Marijuana, Liquor & Bankruptcy (MLB) Unit offers the opportunity to practice in cutting-edge and challenging areas of law representing the Marijuana and Liquor Enforcement Divisions of the Colorado Department of Revenue and the Tax Division in bankruptcy and tax collection matters. The MLB Unit is a dynamic and collaborative group as statutes and regulations governing regulated marijuana, liquor and tobacco retailers change frequently.
This attorney will primarily handle administrative actions for both the Marijuana and Liquor Enforcement Division. Administrative actions include denials of applications for a license required to operate a regulated liquor business, tobacco retailer or marijuana business, and disciplinary actions based on alleged violations of the statutes and rules that govern these businesses. These cases are initiated by a client investigation which is then referred to the attorneys in the MLB Unit for initial review, administrative hearing, exceptions (administrative appeal) and judicial review. Administrative cases range in complexity from relatively simple to quite complex. For example, the Marijuana and Liquor Enforcement Divisions may seek enforcement action based on underage sales of liquor, tobacco or marijuana, substantial security and public health violations, violations of mandatory marijuana testing requirements, or sophisticated corporate and financial schemes intended to allow unauthorized entities and individuals to control licensed businesses. The attorney may also represent these Divisions in state and federal courts.
The attorney will be part of a team, but will be expected to handle cases independently with increasing responsibilities over time.
The attorney may also assist with general counsel advice to the Marijuana and Liquor Enforcement Divisions including advising on legal issues and rulemaking required to implement newly enacted legislation.
This recruitment may be used to fill multiple positions in the Department of Law.
