Careers at Kurtz & Blum

Why Join Us

Since 1998, Kurtz & Blum has grown from a criminal defense practice into a firm that also proudly serves family law clients across North Carolina. Our team includes bilingual attorneys and support staff who serve a diverse and expanding community.

We foster a collaborative, inclusive, and people-focused culture—one where initiative is celebrated, ideas are encouraged, and loyalty is rewarded. Our workplace values balance, professional growth, and mutual respect. We pride ourselves on continuously improving how we support both our clients and our team.

Opportunities

We’re always looking for proactive, driven people who believe in integrity, advocacy, and teamwork. Explore our opportunities below:

Internship Opportunities

Start your legal career with hands-on experience from day one. Work closely with experienced attorneys on meaningful cases, gain courtroom exposure, and develop the client communication skills essential to successful practice—all within a supportive, collaborative environment.

Junior Attorneys

For newly licensed attorneys or those in the first five years of practice, this role offers the opportunity to build a strong foundation in litigation, client advocacy, and case strategy. Junior Attorneys at Kurtz & Blum take on meaningful responsibilities early—including drafting pleadings, negotiating, handling hearings, and supporting trial preparation—while receiving guidance from our experienced team. 

Experienced Attorneys

For attorneys with prior practice experience, our firm provides a collaborative environment that also empowers you to work independently. Ideal candidates are confident in the courtroom, trial-ready, and skilled strategic thinkers with sound ethical judgment. Strong, compassionate communication with clients and staff are essential, as is a dedication to mentoring others and a genuine commitment to professional excellence.

Support & Legal Staff

A successful law firm relies on dedicated administrative and legal professionals. Whether you’re in office administration, client communication, paralegal support, or operations, you’ll play an essential role in keeping our cases, clients, and firm running smoothly and effectively.

Future Opportunities
