Full-Time | Hybrid | St. Louis, MO | Springfield, MO | Springfield, IL | $100K – $130K Uncapped Quarterly Bonus

IMPORTANT: WHO THIS ROLE IS FOR

This Is For An Attorney — From New Grad To 5 Years Out — Who Wants Real Courtroom Experience, Real Clients, And a Real Path To Partnership At The Midwest's #1 Workers' Comp Defense Firm. Candidates Must

• Hold or be eligible for active Missouri and/or Illinois bar admission independently
• Be authorized to work in the US without sponsorship
• Be genuinely people-oriented — this firm values relationships above all else

• Conduct depositions, mediations, and hearings before administrative tribunals and courts
• Build and maintain trusted outside-counsel relationships directly with assigned clients
• Work with your dedicated paralegal and legal secretary team to move cases efficiently
• Hit your personalized billables goal using the firm's paperless, technology-forward practice systems
• Participate in firm marketing, community involvement, and business development
• Grow toward partnership — this firm promotes from within and has a genuine track record of it
  
  

What We're Looking For

• 0–5 years post-bar experience; new law graduates explicitly welcome
• Workers' comp defense, insurance defense, or plaintiff-side workers' comp experience is a plus (not required)
• People-first personality — genuine, relationship-driven, and comfortable on the phone and in hearings
• Active or eligible Missouri and/or Illinois bar admission
• Partnership-minded attorney looking for a real career — not a pit stop
