Associate Attorney

Ave Staffing
Raleigh, NC Full Time
POSTED ON 5/12/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/16/2026
Civil Litigation Associate (District Court Focus)

Raleigh, North Carolina

The Firm

Join a prestigious, multi-practice firm in Raleigh known for its deep roots in Wake County and a culture built on grit, military-grade discipline, and professional excellence. Unlike high-volume "mill" environments, our client operates in specialized silos that allow for high-margin work and genuine mentorship. This is a firm where hard work is recognized, and the path to Partnership is clear and proven for those who demonstrate the drive to build a practice and serve the local community.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Junior Civil Litigation Associate to capture and grow a steady stream of high-quality leads. This role is perfect for a "hungry" attorney with 1–2 years of experience who wants to be in the courtroom rather than stuck behind a desk doing document review. You will handle a variety of civil matters with a focus on high-margin landlord-tenant disputes, collections, and general District Court litigation.

Key Qualifications

  • Experience: 1–2 years in private practice (District Court experience is required).
  • Practice Areas: Exposure to Landlord-Tenant (Landlord side), Debt Collection, Foreclosure, HOA, or Small Claims.
  • The "Grit" Factor: We value life experience. Candidates with a background in manual labor, military service, or working through school are highly encouraged to apply.
  • Independence: Ability to know when to "run with it" and when to ask for guidance.
  • Professionalism: A positive, team-first attitude and a desire to build a career in Wake County.

Core Responsibilities

  • Manage a diverse caseload of general civil litigation matters.
  • Represent clients in court frequently; handle hearings, motions, and trials.
  • Vet and develop leads to build a sustainable, high-margin practice area.
  • Collaborate with senior partners while maintaining the autonomy to drive cases forward.

Requirements

  • Active North Carolina Bar License.
  • Strong references.
  • Successful completion of a background check and drug screening (urinalysis).

Salary Range: $80,000 - $85,000 (Commensurate with experience/qualifications).
