A bit about us:

We are a plaintiff-side litigation firm focused on advocating for individuals navigating serious injury and workplace-related claims. Our practice is built around helping clients move through complex legal matters while we manage investigation, strategy, and resolution. We handle a consistent volume of cases that require both thoughtful development and readiness for trial, and we collaborate with outside experts when needed to strengthen outcomes. Our attorneys take ownership of their work while benefiting from shared resources, operational support, and a steady pipeline of meaningful matters.

Why join us?

We offer a compensation model designed to reward performance, including a competitive base salary, structured bonus opportunities tied to case outcomes, and additional earning potential through originated matters. Our attorneys receive support for professional expenses and benefit from a platform that provides consistent case flow and operational backing. We also provide a comprehensive benefits package, including 401(k), health, dental, vision, and life insurance, along with paid time off that accrues consistently and can be used flexibly. This role is well-suited for attorneys seeking autonomy, financial upside, and the ability to grow their practice within a well-established litigation environment.

Job Details

We are seeking an attorney to handle a plaintiff-side workers' compensation caseload in a high-volume, client-focused practice. In this role, we take ownership of matters from intake through resolution, appearing at hearings, developing strategy, and driving cases forward. We operate in a fast-moving environment where attorneys are trusted to manage their files independently while leading a small support team that handles day-to-day case administration. This role offers meaningful client interaction, regular court exposure, and the opportunity to develop strong advocacy skills in a structured litigation setting.

Responsibilities

  • Represent clients at administrative hearings, conferences, and trials
  • Evaluate cases, identify legal issues, and develop case strategy
  • Draft pleadings, motions, settlement agreements, and case-related reports
  • Negotiate settlements and communicate with opposing counsel and carriers
  • Manage a full caseload with support from legal assistants and case management staff
  • Guide and oversee support staff to ensure efficient case progression
  • Maintain consistent communication with clients regarding case status and expectations

Qualifications

  • Experience handling workers' compensation matters on the applicant/plaintiff side
  • Comfortable appearing in hearings and managing case progression independently
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to manage deadlines and multiple active files simultaneously
  • Prior experience supervising or working closely with support staff is preferred
  • Bilingual language skills are a plus

Requirements

  • Active bar license in California (Nevada would be a plus)
  • Minimum of 3 years of relevant workers' compensation experience
  • Experience drafting pleadings and handling litigation-related tasks
  • Ability to work in a high-volume, fast-paced environment
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
