Location

Raleigh, North Carolina
Title

Civil Litigation Associate (District Court Focus)
Firm

Join a prestigious, multi‑practice firm in Raleigh known for its deep roots in Wake County and a culture built on grit, military‑grade discipline, and professional excellence. Unlike high‑volume "mill" environments, our client operates in specialized silos that allow for high‑margin work and genuine mentorship.

Key Qualifications

1–2 years in private practice (District Court experience is required).
Exposure to Landlord‑Tenant (landlord side), Debt Collection, Foreclosure, HOA, or Small Claims.
Batteries of life experience are valued; candidates with a background in manual labor, military service, or alternative educational paths are highly encouraged.
Ability to run independently while knowing when to seek guidance.
Positive, team‑first attitude and a desire to build a career in Wake County.
Core Responsibilities

Manage a diverse caseload of general civil litigation matters.
Represent clients in court frequently; handle hearings, motions, and trials.
Vet and develop leads to build a sustainable, high‑margin practice area.
Collaborate with senior partners while maintaining the autonomy to drive cases forward.
Requirements

Active North Carolina Bar License.
Strong references.
Successful completion of a background check and drug screening (urinalysis).
Salary Range

$80,000 – $85,000+ ( commensurate with experience/qualifications ).
