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.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Junior Civil Litigation Associate to capture and grow a steady stream of high-quality leads.

• 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.
