Job Description

Position: Employment Law Partner

Location: Raleigh, NC

Salary: Competitive / Commensurate with Experience & Portable Business

A premier, business-focused law firm in North Carolina is seeking an entrepreneurial Employment Law Partner to join its highly collaborative, low-bureaucracy team in Raleigh. This position offers true autonomy, a sophisticated multi-state platform, and a lucrative economic model designed to directly reward practice growth.

The ideal candidate will drive employer-side compliance, transactional diligence, and dispute resolution while expanding deep corporate client relationships.

Key Responsibilities

  • Executive Counseling: Advise corporate clients, HR leaders, and Boards of Directors on high-level risk mitigation, workforce governance, and organizational structure.
  • Transactional & M&A: Conduct workforce-related due diligence for mergers and acquisitions, structuring executive compensation, incentive equity plans, and restrictive covenants.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Guide multi-state and international enterprises through complex ADA, FMLA, Title VII, FLSA, OSHA, and PEO compliance strategies.
  • Agreement Drafting: Author and negotiate complex employment agreements, separation packages, trade secret protections, and non-competition/non-solicitation covenants.
  • Dispute Resolution: Oversee administrative proceedings and employment litigation before the EEOC, DOL, OSHA, state/federal courts, and FINRA arbitrations.
  • Practice Expansion: Leverage a supportive cross-referral platform to expand client relationships across key sectors like technology, healthcare, life sciences, and financial services.

Qualifications

  • Experience: 15+ years of dedicated management-side labor and employment law experience within a law firm or senior in-house corporate legal department.
  • Portable Practice: A reasonable, portable book of business or a demonstrable track record of sustainable client development.
  • Jurisdiction: Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school; active license in good standing with the North Carolina State Bar (or immediate eligibility to waive in).
  • Core Competencies: Comprehensive mastery of multi-state employment counseling, transactional risk management, and administrative defense.
