Farrin Career Opportunities
The JSF Way
At the Law Offices of James Scott Farrin, we put two things first: our clients and our employees. We believe that satisfied employees tend to beget satisfied clients.
We strive to do great things for our clients, for each other, and for our communities. The line that separates the great and the good can be a fine one. It’s often the seemingly little things that make a big difference. We count on our employees making that big difference by going the extra mile, doing just a little bit more to achieve great results. And when they do, colleagues and managers, alike, are encouraged to recognize them.
“It’s an amazing feeling to work in a place where you know your supervisors and colleagues have your back.”
A Culture of Ambition and Innovation
We Are Ambition-Focused
We are a law firm focused on providing the highest quality legal services for individuals in North and South Carolina — something we call the James Scott Farrin advantage. We believe combining impressive resources with high standards of performance in pursuit of ambitious goals gives our clients a distinct advantage.
But what makes it work — our secret sauce — is the quality of our people. Bright, innovative, dedicated, driven, passionate professionals on a mission: to build a historically great firm by benefiting our clients.
To empower our attorneys and professionals, encourage their development, and help them help as many people as possible, we have created a work environment recognized for its positive atmosphere. U.S. News & World Report named us one of the “Best Companies to Work For” and the Triangle Business Journal selected us for their “Best Places to Work” list. And our firm President, James S. Farrin, was honored with a North Carolina Lawyers Weekly and South Carolina Lawyers Weekly “Diversity & Inclusion” Award for advancing “diversity, inclusion, and the dignity of people in the legal profession” in communities across the Carolinas.
We Are Innovation-Focused
Our goal has always been to build a great firm. And we realize that doesn’t happen by settling for conventional approaches. We innovate to create advantages for our clients.. We are leaders in applying business principles to the management of a law firm. We’ve received national recognition for our marketing campaigns, organizational systems, and use of technology (including two proprietary software programs we developed).
And what’s more, we bring that same spirit of innovation to each case. We expect our attorneys to creatively navigate around obstacles and build powerful cases. Our goal is to create an advantage for every one of our clients.
If you envision yourself thriving in this type of environment, we would love to hear from you.
“When I graduated from law school, there was only one place I wanted to work — James Scott Farrin. For years I have admired the firm for its values and service to others. It is an honor to work here.”
What Our Employees Say About Working Here
Roughly 90% of employees would recommend our firm to a friend, according to Glassdoor. See for yourself what some of our employees say about us.
“Other employees would have said: It’s your problem, not ours, but that’s not what happens here – and it’s touching. There’s a sense of wanting you to succeed.”
The Law Offices of James Scott Farrin was named to the 2026 Raleigh-Durham “Top Workplaces” list, presented in partnership with The News & Observer.* The firm was one of only nine organizations with more than 150 employees selected for recognition.
What makes this honor especially meaningful for us is that it is based solely on feedback from employees through the Energage Workplace Survey. We strive to create a workplace where people know their contributions matter, have opportunities to grow, and feel supported by the people around them. We believe that when employees are empowered to succeed and do meaningful work, they are better equipped to make a difference for our clients, our communities, and one another.
