Job Description

 

Job description:

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced civil litigation attorney to join a growing practice. The firm seeks a North Carolina–licensed attorney with at least 7+ years of experience handling defense-side civil litigation matters, with a preference for backgrounds in insurance defense and related areas such as auto liability, construction litigation, trucking, products liability, professional liability, premises liability, and commercial disputes.

About the Role:

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of managing cases through trial and arbitration.  This is not a “behind-the-scenes” role.  We are seeking a trial ready attorney with a background of defending complex cases. The position offers flexibility with a hybrid work arrangement and is open to both local candidates and those licensed in North Carolina who are interested in relocating to North Carolina.

What makes this opportunity different:

  • True Trial Work: You will have a lead role in trials and arbitrations, not just discovery.
  • Modern Benefits: In addition to a full health/retirement suite, the firm offers Student Loan Repayment Assistance and pet insurance.
  • Flexibility: While we maintain a collaborative office, we provide robust remote work capabilities as needed.
  • Bonus: Excellent bonus structure
  • Generous Leave: 3 weeks of PTO plus paid holidays from day one.

Qualifications:

  • Active NC Bar license.
  • 7+ years of civil defense experience.
  • Demonstrated success handling cases through verdict or arbitration.

 

If you are seeking a firm where you can try cases, develop strong client relationships, and there is a clear path for career advancement in a collaborative environment, we encourage you to apply.

Qualified candidates are invited to submit a resume and writing sample for consideration.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, age, color, sex (including pregnancy), religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, military status, genetic information, or any other status protected by applicable laws or regulations. GPAC (Growing People and Companies) is an award-winning search firm specializing in placing quality professionals within multiple industries across the United States since 1990.
