  • Charlotte, NC

Job Description

We are working with a Charlotte based client on an Assistant General Counsel role. This position will report directly to the General Counsel, and will serve as a key legal advisor across the company. The AGC will handle a portfolio of commercial contracts, partner closely with business teams, and help build the systems and processes that allow the client to move quickly without unnecessary legal risk.

This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for a lawyer who is equally comfortable negotiating a complex commercial agreement, advising on a regulatory question, and mentoring junior team members.

What You'll Do

• Draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of commercial contracts, including vendor agreements, customer contracts, NDAs, and partnership agreements

• Advise internal stakeholders — Company's operating companies — on legal risk and strategy

• Support M&A transactions, due diligence processes, and corporate governance matters

• Manage and develop outside counsel relationships, ensuring quality and cost efficiency

• Build and maintain scalable legal processes, templates, and playbooks

• Monitor applicable laws and regulations and advise the business on compliance obligations

• Assist with board and investor matters, including preparing materials and maintaining corporate records

• Handle pre-litigation disputes and support any litigation management

What We're Looking For

• J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar membership in good standing

• 2–8 years of legal experience

• Demonstrated experience negotiating and closing complex commercial contracts

• Strong business judgment and the ability to give clear, actionable legal advice

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills — you can explain legal risk without burying the business in caveats

• High degree of ownership and comfort operating with limited supervision in a fast-paced environment

• Collaborative, low-ego, and genuinely interested in the business you support
