Legal Careers in Charlotte & Wilmington, NC

Your Career. Reimagined.

Your legal career is more than a billable hour. It’s about impact. At GessnerLaw, PLLC, we leverage our platform to enhance impact—whether you are a lawyer, a marketing professional, a business development savant, or an operational expert. Your skills have value beyond the billable hour. And we have created a model to value those skills—all the skills.

Developing and refining our platform has taken time. In 2020, we will celebrate our five-year anniversary. With the benefit of time and perspective, we understand what we can do for you; how we can do it; and why it matters. Our compensation structure is creative. Our community engagement approach is customized. At GessnerLaw, PLLC, it’s about you. Clients pick lawyers, not law firms. We know that, and we believe our firm’s clients will pick you if they only had the opportunity to get to know you. So come join us. Be known. Be heard.

To be considered for any opportunity, we ask for some introspection: (1) are you approachable; (2) are you comfortable expressing vulnerability; (3) do you view mistakes as opportunities; and (4) do you value authenticity? If you can answer “Yes” to these four questions, we should meet.
