Career Consulting Partners has partnered with a young and growing boutique workers' compensation defense law firm. We 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 firm is located in the San Fernando Valley. 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.

Provide legal representation for employers, insurance carriers, and third-party administrators in workers' compensation hearings and trials. Communicate with clients to understand their goals and expectations. Analyze claims to determine the merits of a defense and provide legal advice to clients. Assess the potential exposure and liability associated with each case. Prepare and draft legal documents such as pleadings, motions, and settlement agreements. Ensure all documentation complies with relevant laws and regulations. Negotiate settlements with opposing parties or their legal representatives. Advise clients on the cost-effectiveness of settlement versus continued litigation. Represent clients in workers' compensation hearings, trials, and appeals. Present evidence and arguments clearly and persuasively. Stay informed about changes in workers' compensation laws and regulations.

We understand that a majority of the time, cases are settled before or on the day of trial. Compensation Benefits: Base Compensation: $110, 000 - $215, 000 + Additional Bonuses (D. O. E. ).
