In addition to his board certification, Hjelt is past Chair of the Employment Law Section of the North Carolina Advocates for Justice and has been recognized by North Carolina Super Lawyers every year since 2021.
"This partnership is a significant milestone for me, both personally and professionally," Hjelt said. "I look forward to continuing Kornbluth Ginsberg's mission to make North Carolina a safe and fair place for all to work."
The promotion comes at a time when employment law issues are increasingly in the spotlight, with workplace disputes, discrimination, and harassment cases on the rise. Hjelt's expertise in this area positions the firm to better serve clients across the Triangle region and beyond.
Kornbluth Ginsberg Law Group, P.A. is known for its attorneys' combined experience of over 100 years in handling workplace disputes, sexual harassment, employment discrimination, severance and contract negotiations, and personal injury matters. The firm has successfully recovered millions of dollars in compensation for clients throughout North Carolina.
Hjelt's elevation to partner is not just a personal achievement but also a strategic move for the firm, signaling its continued investment in top-tier legal talent. As the demand for specialized employment law services grows, having a partner with Hjelt's credentials and experience is likely to enhance the firm's ability to advocate effectively for workers' rights.
