Job description

About the Organization
Since 1934, the Association of American Railroads (AAR) has represented the U.S. freight rail industry, advancing policies, research, safety standards, and technology that strengthen America's rail network. Freight railroads move the raw materials, energy products, agricultural goods, and consumer products that power the U.S. economy. As a critical part of the national supply chain, freight rail supports millions of jobs, facilitates domestic and international trade, and connects industries across the U.S..

  • Policy Leadership: AAR works with elected officials and regulators in Washington, DC to develop sound public policy and regulatory frameworks that support a safe, efficient and competitive freight rail system.
  • Standards & Compliance: As the standard-setting organization for North America's railroads, AAR establishes safety, security and operating standards that enable seamless operations across nearly 140,000 miles of freight rail lines.
  • Industry Data & Economic Analysis: AAR economists produce weekly, quarterly and annual reports that provide authoritative data and statistical analysis on freight rail traffic, operations and economic trends. Learn more in the Data Center.
  • Research & Technology: Through its subsidiaries, Railinc and MxV Rail, AAR leads research, testing and technology initiatives that advance rail safety, cybersecurity, equipment standards and network efficiency.

Role Overview
The Senior Vice President, Law & General Counsel serves as the chief legal officer of the Association, providing legal advice and counsel to the Board of Directors and the President & Chief Executive Officer. The SVP is responsible for all matters as assigned by the Board and CEO and for the overall leadership and performance of the Law Department. In this capacity, the SVP also serves as General Counsel to AAR's wholly owned subsidiary, MxV Rail.

The Law Department provides legal, legislative, and policy support across the Association's activities, while also coordinating closely with chief legal officers and senior leadership of member railroads. The function delivers legal services, counsel, and representation to AAR and MxV Rail and plays a central role in aligning industry perspectives across a complex stakeholder environment. The SVP oversees a team that includes the corporate secretary/associate general counsel, four additional associate general counsel, and an assistant general counsel, and manages an annual budget of approximately $5-10 million.

In support of AAR's mission, the Law Department develops, coordinates, and advocates industry positions on major governmental initiatives across the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. These include matters involving economic regulation, safety and operations, environmental regulation, spectrum, antitrust, tort litigation, preemption, and tax. The department plays a leading role in an increasingly active and strategic litigation environment, including representing AAR as a plaintiff in complex matters and expanding the Association's role in legal advocacy at both the federal and state levels. It represents the industry in judicial and administrative proceedings, supports the preparation of congressional testimony, and contributes to the drafting of legislative proposals. The department also represents the interests of AAR's U.S., Canadian, and Mexican members before government agencies and legislatures on issues related to international and cross-border transportation.

In delivering legal services to AAR and MxV Rail, the Law Department provides corporate secretary functions and guidance on a broad range of corporate and administrative matters, including tax, lobbying and gift law, insurance, privacy, employment and benefits, commercial and government contracting, and antitrust. The department monitors organizational activities to ensure compliance with applicable legal requirements, represents the Association in litigation and contract negotiations, and provides legal advice and support to AAR committees comprised of member railroad representatives.

The General Counsel will join AAR at a pivotal moment for the industry marked by evolving regulatory scrutiny, and an increasingly active litigation environment. The role requires a leader who can operate effectively in a high-intensity, fast-moving context and help position AAR proactively on emerging legal and policy challenges.

  • Develop, coordinate, and advocate industry positions on major governmental initiatives across the executive, legislative, and judicial branches
  • Represent AAR and its members in judicial and administrative proceedings and support congressional engagement, including testimony and legislative drafting
  • Advise on a broad range of matters, including economic regulation, safety and operations, environmental regulation, spectrum, antitrust, tort litigation, and tax
  • Represent the interests of U.S., Canadian, and Mexican member railroads before government agencies and legislatures on international and cross-border transportation matters
  • Provide corporate secretary functions and legal guidance on corporate governance and administrative matters, including employment, benefits, privacy, insurance, contracting, government contracting, lobbying and gift law, and antitrust compliance

  • Support AAR committees comprised of member railroad representatives and coordinate closely with member company general counsels and senior leadership
