Job Description

The practice of law in North Carolina is changing. At Villmer Caudill, PLLC, you can be part of that change.

We’re looking for a lawyer who loves what they do, who measures success in terms of effort and ingenuity, who values their work because it enables their professional and personal growth, and who wants to make their mark on the practice of law.

If you look around your office and wonder why you’re the only one working past 5 p.m., why you’re typing away on a computer that’s eight years old, why you’re forced to sit at a desk from 9 to 5 when you could do everything you do remotely, or why others are getting credit for the creative, effective, hard work that you do, then you should apply.

VC is searching for commercial litigation attorneys at all stages of their career—from new graduates to experienced litigation counsel.
