Commercial Litigation Attorney

Commercial & Business Litigation Attorney | Charlotte, NC | Hybrid | $160,000–$230,000 DOE

Plenty of firms say they’re growing. This one has spent the last few years doing it, and now it’s building out commercial litigation.

They’re making a few hires, and the seat could be yours.

I’m Clark Pollins at Distinct Recruitment, recruiting for a nationally ranked, full-service, mid-market firm with its leadership based in Charlotte. They want litigators who’ll help decide what this department becomes.

Why that kind of growth matters to you

• A growing firm brings in new clients, and clients have disputes. The base this team serves keeps widening.
• 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 region
• Shareholder, partnership and LLC disputes
• Business torts, fraud, UDTPA claims, and restrictive covenant and trade secret matters
• Banking and financial services litigation
• Construction and real estate disputes
• Insurance coverage disputes, class actions and arbitration
• State and federal court, including the North Carolina Business Court where the case calls for it

You don’t need experience in all of these. Solid commercial litigation in a few is plenty.

Two levels, one range

• 3+ years of commercial or business litigation experience, from a firm, government or in-house setting.
• 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

• 1,800–1,900 billable hours.
• Three days a week in the office. The rest is yours to work wherever suits you.
• Easy to reach from across the Charlotte metro, including SouthPark, Ballantyne, Huntersville, Concord, Matthews and Fort Mill.
