Why join us?
- Real ownership of your cases. At 5–10 years you’ll run matters, not just draft pieces of them, and you’ll be the day-to-day contact for clients.
- Time in court. You’ll take depositions, argue motions and handle hearings yourself, and you’ll be part of the trial team when cases go to trial.
- A realistic hours target. The billable requirement is 1,700, so there’s room for business development, mentoring and a life outside the office.
- Credit for your own clients. Lawyers who bring in work are rewarded for it, and the Firm’s range of practice groups makes cross-selling easy.
- Competitive pay of $160,000–$200,000 depending on experience, plus a full benefits package.
- A clear path forward. The Firm promotes from within, and associates who build a practice can see what it takes to make partner.
What You’ll Handle:
- Running a caseload of commercial disputes, including breach of contract, business torts, partnership and shareholder disputes, restrictive covenants, collections and related matters
- Managing cases from intake through resolution, including pleadings, dispositive motions, discovery strategy and settlement negotiations
- Taking and defending depositions and arguing motions in state and federal court
- Preparing for and taking part in trials, arbitrations and mediations
- Advising clients directly on litigation strategy, risk and cost
- Mentoring junior associates and paralegals on assigned matters
- J.D. from an accredited law school
- Active bar admission in good standing in North Carolina; South Carolina is a plus
- 5–10 years of commercial litigation experience at a law firm
- Strong writing, especially on dispositive motions and briefs
- Experience taking depositions and appearing in court on your own
- Comfort working directly with business owners and in-house counsel
