A bit about us:

We are a California based litigation firm focused exclusively on workers compensation defense. Our attorneys represent employers, carriers, and public entities across the state. With teams in both Northern and Southern California, we offer statewide coverage and flexibility in where our attorneys sit.

Our practice is built on disciplined file management, strategic case handling, and consistent client communication. We operate with a high level of accountability and expect our attorneys to move files forward with purpose. Collaboration is encouraged, but ownership of your caseload is non negotiable.


Why join us?

You will have autonomy over your cases while still having the infrastructure of an established defense practice behind you. We prioritize organization, responsiveness, and results.

Compensation starts at 100,000 and increases based on experience and book of business. There is a structured monthly bonus program tied to performance.

Benefits include employer covered medical, dental, and vision coverage. We also offer a 401k with employer match, profit sharing, paid Bar dues, covered MCLE courses, and unlimited PTO.

Attorneys may work hybrid and in-person in the Orange, CA location. For remote consideration, candidates must reside in California and be admitted to and in good standing with the State Bar.
