Workers Compensation Attorney

Workers' Compensation Attorney Career Consulting Partners has partnered with a growing workers' compensation defense law firm. They are building the firm of the future with an employee-centric model. The founding partners come from large WC defense firms, and we seek to create something more modern and collegial.

Our model is designed for low-volume cases, allowing our experienced attorneys to achieve the best results for our clients. This is a full-time Remote Attorney role with no obligation to work in the office. All at-home office equipment will be provided.

However, the attorney is required to travel for in-person appearances such as depositions, walkthroughs, expedited hearings, and trials. The Associate Attorney will be responsible for handling workers’ compensation defense cases throughout Southern California. We have a competitive compensation package and offer full benefits.

We offer one of the industry's leading bonus structures for our employees. Responsibilities:

Handle a caseload of workers' compensation defense cases for various clients with a very active support staff (2:1 assignment ratio)
