Attorney

Commercial Litigation Attorney | Charlotte, NC | $160,000 to $230,000 DOE

Most of this firm’s 300+ attorneys didn’t join one at a time. They arrived in groups, each time a well regarded firm decided to combine with this one.

This time, they’re hiring one person. The seat is in commercial litigation.

• I’m Clark Pollins at Distinct Recruitment. I’m recruiting for an Am Law 200, full service firm headquartered in Charlotte.
• It’s a mid market firm and it’s growing fast.
• Now they’re building out commercial litigation. They want attorneys who’ll help decide what that department becomes.

Why that kind of growth matters to you

• Every firm that joins brings its own clients, and clients have disputes. Each combination widens the base this team serves.
• Full service means transactional colleagues across the firm who can send matters your way.
• A department in build mode needs people to take the hearing, run the deposition and lead the file. That’s room you can step into.
• The firm’s leadership is in Charlotte, the city you’d work in. You won’t sit in a satellite office waiting on decisions from somewhere else.

The cases

• Contract and commercial disputes for businesses across the firm’s region
• Shareholder, partnership and LLC disputes
• Business torts, fraud and restrictive covenant matters
• State and federal court, including the North Carolina Business Court where the case calls for it

Two levels, one range

• Closer to $160,000: mid level associates who’ve handled discovery, written dispositive motions and taken depositions.
• Up to $230,000: senior associates ready to run cases with light supervision and help develop the attorneys around them.
• North Carolina licensed, or able to become so.

The practical bits

• 1,800 to 1,900 billable hours.
• Three days a week in the office. The rest is yours to work wherever suits you.
