Van Kampen Law, PC

Van Kampen Law is a multi-award winning employment law firm, solely dedicated to protecting those who have been wronged by their employers. Recognized statewide for his niche specialization in plaintiff-side employment representation, Joshua Van Kampen has consistently been ranked one of the Top 100 attorneys in the state of North Caroline by SuperLawyers from 2017-2025, and has been named one of Charlotte’s Top 25 attorneys, across all areas of practice, from 2018-2023 and again in 2025. Known as one of the most effective and aggressive employment law firms in the state, our clients and opposing counsel value the compassionate, diplomatic approach we take to settlement negotiations, while at the same time respecting the aggressive litigation style of our attorneys. Having started his career as a management-side employment attorney working for large firms that defend employers, Mr. Van Kampen and his team are able to anticipate defense tactics several steps in advance, bringing proactive strategies and invaluable opposing perspectives to every client’s case. Historically, North Carolina’s courts were widely recognized as some of the most conservative in the nation. As a result, only a small handful of firms in the state exclusively practice plaintiff-side employment law – Van Kampen Law being one of them. Through nearly three decades of specialization, our firm has developed working relationships with and cemented the respect of government agencies, judges, opposing counsels, and in-house attorneys in the area, often leading to early, favorable settlements. Further, as a member of the defense bar, Mr. Van Kampen is able to advise clients on how to properly value their cases, assessing when to push further and when to concede during settlement negotiations, as well as when to pursue litigation.
