Brandy L. Mansouraty

As a legal counselor and litigator, Brandy focuses on helping clients navigate challenging situations, manage complex legal issues and creatively solve problems. She represents clients in commercial litigation, including matters involving business torts and contracts, banking, construction, commercial real estate disputes and appeals.  She also assists clients in judgment enforcement and other areas involving creditors’ rights.

Additionally, Brandy routinely counsels clients in employment law, including helping clients navigate compliance with state and federal law and drafting employment handbooks, policies and agreements.  Brandy regularly works in areas involving drafting and enforcing non-compete agreements.  She also represents employers in matters involving non-insured penalty assessments before the North Carolina Industrial Commission.

Brandy is intently focused on being solution-oriented and providing support and resources to clients so that her clients can focus on operating and growing their businesses, rather than the challenges of legal issues.  Building strong relationships with clients to intimately know their companies and their needs, all while helping them achieve their goals with respect to labor and employment, business and litigation matters, is the most rewarding part of Brandy’s work.

During law school at Wake Forest, Brandy served as Senior Articles Editor of the Intellectual Property Law Journal and as a Teaching Assistant in the area of Constitutional Law.  In 2010, Brandy was awarded the North Carolina Advocates For Justice award for “Most Outstanding Advocate.”  In addition, Brandy received CALI Awards for Excellence in Trial Practice, Legislative and Administrative Law, Race and the Law and Suing the Government.
