About Jeremy

Resolving My Clients' Business Legal Needs So They Can Focus On Running and Growing Their Companies.

I started my law firm to put my prior experience to work for individuals, as well as small to mid-sized companies in the Charlotte and Cabarrus County area. I knew that my clients would benefit from a more flexible and personal style of legal representation, as well as the option for flat fee legal services rather than always having to pay by the hour.

 Before founding The Canipe Law Firm, PLLC, I was a partner at a large multi-state law firm where I helped lead their Business & Contract Law team.  I also handled cases in NC and SC and provided estate planning services.  I had also worked for a the legal department of a large bank and for a large business litigation law firm. 

 I wanted a different kind of firm with a relationship where my clients and I could know each other better and I could offer them legal advice more customized to their situations.  I wanted my law practice to be drive by the needs of my clients and how I can help them.

 I grew up in Catawba County, North Carolina and live in Charlotte with my wife and their two children.  Outside of work, I focus on his family and is an active member at Hickory Grove Baptist Church.  For several years, I worked with my wife teaching children’s Sunday School and the church’s annual Vacation Bible School. I also help  teach our adult Sunday School class and serve the members of the church as a deacon. I enjoy studying the Bible and discussing how to apply the Bible to everyday life, as I try to live out my faith. 

 I retain an avid interest in American history from my college days.  You can usually be sure that I am reading a few history books and working on a history research project.  I also greatly enjoy running, participating in local mud runs and playing pickup basketball with friends as part of my regular fitness routine.

    Review Jeremy Canipe

    Best Employment/Business Attorney

    Posted by

    Jeremy was on top of the game---very knowledgeable in business law--espescially in my case of non-compete. He also was very proactive in handling my matter!

    Trusted attorney

    Posted by

    Jeremy has helped my wife and I with several of our companies and has acted as our coroporate attorney for several years now. We are very pleased with his knowledge, professionalism, and confidentiality when dealing with our situations and needs. Jeremy is responsive and can get the job done in the appropriate time at a fair price. I highly recommend using Jeremy Canipe & The Canipe Law Firm for any of your needs for an attorney.

    Professional and Trustworthy

    Posted by

    My wife and I hired Mr. Canipe to represent us in a contract dispute. Mr. Canipe was knowledgeable and helped us understand what to expect for process and outcome. I hope we do not need further legal representation, but we will seek Mr. Canipe's counsel first should we encounter any disputes in the future.

    During our family's difficult time, Jeremy was very knowledgeable, professional, supportive, flexible and extremely helpful with my Mother's estate settlement. He always returned phone calls and emails promptly and was available to meet on short notice when necessary. We were totally confident of his advice and handling of all the documents. Thank you Jeremy for making this an easy process for us!

    An Attorney who knows his the legal in's and out's about business!

    Posted by

    I had the privilege of first working with Attorney Jeremy Canipe back in 2016. From the moment we began he gave me a lot of education on how the process would go and even things to add to my business contracts in the future. I was very impressed in how he gave me frequent updates and itemized costs for each new tasks that was vital for a winning outcome. Jeremy even updated me with information from the other attorney that was working for the other party. In the past I have sat with other attorneys who weren't as detailed. However, he demonstrated his willingness to dot every "I" and cross every "T", all while being humble enough to listen to my ideas! Ultimately I trusted that he would provide the best course of action which I found to be true. The day of our hearing he was on time, asked the right questions, and delivered a dynamic display of his legal experience that solidified a victory for me! Since then, Jeremy took on another case for me that resulted in another victory. So moving forward I plan on making Jeremy my first call for my legal business matters. I highly recommend Jeremy Canipe!

    Relationship: Friend

    I have known Jeremy for 15 years and can attest that he is one of the most thorough and knowledgeable attorneys that I know. He and I have been involved in cases together and his attention to detail sets him apart. Jeremy is also a person of great integrity and character and I am confident in his abilities to provide great legal services.

    James Hickmon, Business Attorney on Feb 11, 2014
    Relationship: Worked together on matter

    I have known and worked with Jeremy for almost five years and have found him to be both a talented attorney and genuinely kind and nice person. Jeremy and I have co-counseled on a number of highly complex cases, including a case in the North Carolina Business Court for which we received a favorable opinion for our client. Jeremy has also worked with mutual clients on complicated business related matters, including equity bonus and stock purchase arrangements and ERISA litigation. Small and medium sized business owners will be doing themselves a tremendous service by tapping into Jeremy's outside "general counsel" services and I feel confident Jeremy's client's recognize real benefits from their legal services investment with Jeremy's firm.
