Senior Business Advisory & Transactions Attorney- General Business Advisory

At Jimerson Birr, our team accepts the lasting responsibility of protecting our clients’ rights, businesses, properties, investments, and finances. We partner with established companies, emerging ventures, and individuals to structure deals, solve complex problems, and guide pivotal decisions with measurable outcomes. We pride ourselves on legal excellence, disciplined execution, and a culture built on service, quality, and results.

About the Role

Jimerson Birr is seeking a Senior Business Advisory & Transactions Attorney for our General Business Advisory team. The Senior Attorney will serve as day-to-day counsel to business clients: handling the regulatory, employment, intellectual property, and commercial questions that come up constantly and cannot wait for a quarterly review.

This is advisory work with real breadth. In a given week you might clear a trademark, review a vendor’s security addendum, walk a client through a separation, respond to an agency audit, and turn a contract around in a day. You move fast without getting sloppy, and you know which of those five things actually carries risk.

The part that distinguishes this seat: you build things that keep working after you leave the room. A compliance program with real policies, training, and an audit cadence. A trade secret hygiene protocol tied to onboarding and offboarding. An incident response playbook a client can actually run at 2 a.m. Much of this work is framework-building, and the clients who value it most are the ones who keep you close!

At JB, “great lawyering” isn’t defined by hours worked. It is measured by execution against the plan, disciplined delivery, and visible progress and backed by systems that create clarity, consistency, and client trust. That structure exists to remove friction. The attorneys who thrive here treat it as leverage and then make it better.

You’ll know this is the right seat if:

› You would rather build the policy that prevents the problem than bill the hours cleaning it up.

› You are precise by instinct: you catch the defined term that doesn’t match and the filing deadline nobody calendared.

› You want variety without chaos: many matters, clear plans, defensible priorities.

› You want to own the client relationship, not hand it up the chain.

› You want feedback that is direct, specific, and grounded in evidence.
