Workers Compensation Associate Attorney

Workers Compensation Associate Attorney| Baltimore, MD | $105,000 to $165,000

Four hearings at the Commission before lunch. An IME that reads like it was written about a different claimant. An adjuster who wants a reserve figure by three o’clock.

If that sounds like your Tuesday, you already treat comp as a serious practice. The firm I’m recruiting for treats it the same way, and the pay reflects it: the band starts at $105,000.

I’m a recruiter at Distinct Recruitment. My client is a national firm with more than offices across statewide, and its Workers’ Compensation group in Baltimore needs an associate. The firm calls it an immediate opening, so the process should move quickly.

Why the range is wide

• $105,000 to $165,000. They’ll hire anywhere from 1 to 5 years, so the band covers two levels: an associate a year or two in toward the lower end, and someone close to five years who already runs a hearing docket toward the top.
• Bonuses on top of salary.
• Health, dental and life insurance, a 401(k), flexible spending and more.

What you’ll actually do

• Defend Maryland workers’ compensation claims, with Commission hearings at the center of your week.
• Work on several stages of each matter, so you see a claim from more than one angle.
• Sit on key client teams. You’ll know the client by name, and they’ll know yours.
• Learn inside a group that builds mentoring into how it works.

Who they want

• Admission to the Maryland bar.
• 1 to 5 years of workers’ compensation experience.
• A calm voice for an employer facing their first comp claim.
• One year in? Apply. Nearly five? Apply.
