[Hiring] Senior Business Advisory & Transactional Attorney @Jimerson Birr, P.A.

Role Description

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 arise constantly.

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
• Turn a contract around in a day

You build things that keep working after you leave the room, such as:

• 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.

At JB, “great lawyering” is measured by execution against the plan, disciplined delivery, and visible progress backed by systems that create clarity, consistency, and client trust.

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 want variety without chaos
• You want to own the client relationship
• You want feedback that is direct, specific, and grounded in evidence

Qualifications

• JD and an active Florida Bar license
• 5+ years of business advisory, regulatory and compliance, employment, or intellectual property practice
• A track record of managing matters independently
• Precision drafting: clean documents, consistent defined terms, and no loose ends
• Comfort communicating directly with clients, counterparties, agencies, and regulators
• The ability to work inside a structured system, and the instinct to improve it
• Sound triage judgment
• Comfort delegating real work and following up on it

Requirements

• Administrative law or licensing practice before state or local agencies (preferred)
• USPTO trademark prosecution experience (preferred)
• Employment counseling experience on the advisory side, not primarily litigation (preferred)
• Depth in a regulated industry: construction, healthcare, financial services, or similar (preferred)
• Experience building a compliance program from scratch rather than maintaining one (preferred)
• Georgia Bar admission or willingness to seek it (preferred)

Benefits

• Competitive compensation
• Professional development opportunities
• Supportive work environment dedicated to fostering your success
