About Us
At Schell Bray, we believe sophisticated legal work does not require a large-firm environment. With offices in Greensboro and Chapel Hill, we advise businesses, organizations, and individuals throughout North Carolina and across the country on significant matters involving corporate and business law, commercial real estate, tax-exempt organizations, and trusts and estates.
Our collaborative environment gives attorneys the opportunity to work directly with clients, take ownership of matters from beginning to end, and build long-term relationships. Work-life balance is an important part of our culture, and we believe attorneys can build successful practices while maintaining meaningful lives outside of work.
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Corporate & Business Attorney to join our business practice. This role is designed for an attorney with a strong foundation in corporate and business law who is ready to take meaningful ownership of client matters while working alongside experienced partners across the practice.

This position offers the opportunity to work directly with an established client base, manage matters with a high degree of independence, and continue developing client relationships within a collaborative practice.
Experience in areas that complement our existing capabilities, particularly data privacy, cybersecurity, or intellectual property, would be an additional advantage.
Responsibilities
Advise businesses and organizations on a wide variety of corporate governance, transactional, and general business matters.
Manage client matters and transactions while collaborating with partners and other attorneys as appropriate.
Draft, review, and negotiate agreements and other business and transactional documents.
Serve as a trusted advisor to clients on legal and business considerations affecting their organizations, transactions, and objectives.
Develop and maintain strong client relationships while contributing to the continued growth of the Firm’s business practice.
Collaborate with attorneys across the firm on matters involving commercial real estate, tax-exempt organizations, tax issues and other related issues.
