Jeffrey A. Kadis

Jeff focuses his practice exclusively on counseling employers in workers’ compensation matters, with particular emphasis on defending occupational disease and chemical exposure claims. He brings extensive experience representing business clients at evidentiary and appellate hearings before the North Carolina Industrial Commission, the North Carolina Court of Appeals, and Supreme Court. 

Beyond formal representation, Jeff provides readily accessible guidance to employers. He responds promptly to questions via email or phone, even those outside billable matters, recognizing that many situations require legal insight without formal representation. Jeff also regularly presents continuing education courses on best practices and workplace policies under North Carolina’s Workers’ Compensation Act. 

Jeff’s work has earned consistent recognition in the legal community. He has been selected to the North Carolina Super Lawyers® list in Workers’ Compensation annually since 2008 and to The Best Lawyers in America© every year since 2013 in Workers’ Compensation Law – Employers. In 2023, he was named “Lawyer of the Year” for Workers’ Compensation Law – Employers by The Best Lawyers in America©. 

Within the firm, Jeff serves as Chair of the Workers’ Compensation Practice Group and holds positions on both the Management Committee and as Marketing Chair. Outside the office, he enjoys spending time with his family and traveling to the coast whenever possible.
