The approach may involve victim and witness interviews, assessment of financial and documentary evidence and search warrants. Other responsibilities include participation in a multi-agency task force dedicated to the sharing of intelligence regarding human trafficking cases and pursuing forfeiture actions against offenders where applicable.

The Assistant Attorney General will also work within a multidisciplinary team to evaluate complaints and initiate investigations of human trafficking; formulate investigative strategies; prepare search warrants; analyze documents; interview witnesses; conduct document and witness-intensive grand jury investigations; prepare immunity and/or cooperation agreements, as needed; make charging, venue, and plea-bargaining recommendations; and prosecute complex criminal cases in superior courts.  Participation in training and outreach efforts, particularly in Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden, and Hampshire counties may be required. 

Position Requirements:

• Must be a member of the Massachusetts bar.


• At least five (5) years of litigation experience including experience as a criminal prosecutor or defense attorney preferred.
