Are you a deal-maker who lives for closing time — the kind where signatures fly, not offices shut? Do you dream in contract clauses and get genuinely jazzed about IP rights, licensing, and all the legal magic behind the scenes of sports and entertainment?
If you're ready to bring your A-game to a small, powerhouse law firm that works hard, plays harder, and treats each other like family — you just found your people. We are hiring for a tight-knit, fast-paced law firm repping athletes, artists, creators, content platforms, and the occasional rising superstar. Our office is a mix of big energy, loud laughter, and serious legal chops. We hustle, we high-five, and yes, we absolutely have each other’s backs.
What You’ll Do:
- Draft, review, and negotiate transactional deals in sports, entertainment, and IP.
- Handle licensing, sponsorship, media rights, production deals, and talent agreements like a pro.
- Guide clients through the exciting (and sometimes chaotic) world of contracts and rights management.
- Collaborate closely with a small but mighty team that values both precision and personality.
What You Bring:
- Must have 3–6+ years of experience in sports law, entertainment law, or intellectual property transactions.
- A JD in hand and admission to the North Carolina bar in good standing.
- Confidence, clarity, and a client-first mindset.
- The ability to keep your cool when the stakes are high and the turnaround is yesterday.
- A sense of humor — trust us, you’ll use it daily.
Why You’ll Love It Here:
- We’re big on mentorship, growth, and giving you a seat at the table (literally and figuratively).
- No corporate silos or red tape — just smart, driven people doing what they love.
- Flexibility, autonomy, and support to thrive in and out of the office.
- Friday wins are celebrated, coffee runs are sacred, and our group text is... lively.
