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)

• Manage a caseload of workers' compensation defense cases with dedicated support staff.

• Conduct legal research and develop defense strategies.

• Represent employers, insurers, and third-party administrators in hearings, trials, and appeals.

• Draft pleadings, motions, and settlement agreements.

• Assess claims, advise clients on exposure and liability, and negotiate settlements.

• Ensure compliance with workers' compensation laws and stay updated on legal changes.

• Participate in mediation and dispute resolution.

• Collaborate with attorneys and support staff while maintaining strong client relationships.

Qualifications:

• Strong knowledge of California Worker's Compensation law

• 2 - 10 years of experience in workers' compensation defense litigation

• Ability to work independently and remotely

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Admission in good standing to the State Bar of California

• Experience taking an applicant's deposition and taking/defending a doctor’s deposition

• Experience appearing for all WC hearings (status conference, priority conference, MSC, and lien conference).

• We do not require that the candidate have taken a case through trial; we are looking for a candidate who has prepared a case for appearance at trial. 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.)

• Bonuses are paid out quarterly

• The most expansive and diverse compensation structure of any WC defense firm

• Medical Insurance

• Vision Insurance

How this was produced

Highlights are found by rule, not by a model: each one is a phrase matched at a known position, and every note is a template we wrote. The two scores come from a typed-decision model (Jev) that reads the listing against the official role definition and real listings for the same role, and returns probabilities rather than prose — it never writes any of the words on this page, and never chooses what to highlight.

Deterministic penalty applied to the HR score: 8 points (from 81 before penalties). Reviewed 21 Sep 2026.
