Associate Attorney - Civil/Subrogation

Michael Sullivan & Assoc

Job Description

Job Description

Michael Sullivan & Associates LLP is a leading litigation defense firm serving the Workers’ Compensation industry, known for delivering exceptional legal value, thought leadership (including the renowned Sullivan on Comp treatise), and rapid growth since 1996.

We are seeking a seasoned Attorney (5+ years’ experience) specializing in Civil Litigation & Insurance Subrogation to join our dynamic team. This role is ideal for a strategic, forward-thinking litigator who thrives on maximizing recovery and driving results.

About the Role
You will play a critical role in our subrogation practice—an essential component of every workers’ compensation strategy. You’ll identify third-party liability, pursue recovery actions, and help insurers and self-insured employers recoup funds tied to claims. Your work will directly impact clients’ financial outcomes by reducing claim costs and strengthening program performance.

Key Focus Areas

  • Workers’ Compensation Subrogation: Identify and pursue third-party recovery opportunities in complex claims
  • Property Damage Subrogation: Recover losses arising from third-party negligence or fault
  • Civil Litigation: Manage cases from inception through resolution, including discovery, negotiations, and hearings
  • Client Collaboration: Work closely with insurers, employers, and TPAs to integrate subrogation into broader claims strategies

Why Join Us

  • Hybrid work environment with flexibility and autonomy
  • Competitive compensation with quarterly bonus opportunities
  • Accelerated partnership track in a high-growth firm
  • Continuous training and professional development (including access to Sullivan on Comp )
  • Strong benefits package, retirement plan with employer match, and generous PTO

What We’re Looking For

  • JD and active membership with the State Bar of California
  • 5+ years of civil litigation experience, with a strong emphasis on subrogation
  • Excellent research, analytical, negotiation, and communication skills
  • Proven ability to manage complex cases proactively and independently

At Michael Sullivan & Associates, subrogation isn’t an afterthought—it’s a core strategy. Join us and help turn recovery into a powerful advantage for our clients.
