A bit about us:

Our client is a well-established, full-service business law firm with more than 100 attorneys across several offices in North Carolina. It represents businesses, government entities, nonprofits, trade associations and individuals on regional, national and international matters. Its practice spans complex business litigation, M&A, banking and corporate finance, real estate, health care, labor and employment, media, government relations, and trusts and estates.

The Firm has deep benches of top-ranked attorneys. Many are regularly recognized by leading peer-review and legal-ranking publications. The group includes former state officials, regulators and law professors. The Firm is now adding a lateral associate with meaningful litigation experience to its business litigation team.

Why join us?

• Sophisticated work, real ownership. You’ll handle complex commercial disputes for well-known clients. The Firm deliberately gives its attorneys exposure across many areas of law instead of narrowing them early.
• Independent but collaborative culture. There’s little bureaucracy or hierarchy. You’ll have room to run your own matters, with partners who share strategy and ideas rather than micromanage.
• Collegial environment. The culture is built on integrity, professionalism and respect for each person’s interests outside work.
• Built for laterals. The Firm actively recruits laterals nationwide and values the varied backgrounds they bring.
• Family-friendly benefits. The Firm is formally recognized for family-supportive workplace policies.
