New Day Executive Search

Workers' Compensation Defense Attorney

Join a well-established California law firm as a workers' compensation defense attorney, where you'll receive hands-on litigation exposure and genuine mentorship. This opportunity is ideal for a junior attorney seeking direct courtroom experience and a clear path to independent case management, all within a supportive, team-oriented environment.

Workers' Compensation Defense Attorney Benefits & Compensation

  • Competitive base salary plus bonus potential based on productivity
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits
  • Hybrid work flexibility (specifics vary by office)
  • Supportive environment focused on professional growth and mentorship

Workers' Compensation Defense Attorney Requirements & Qualifications

  • Active California Bar license
  • 5-9 years of legal experience; experience in workers' compensation defense strongly preferred
  • Demonstrated interest in litigation and workers' compensation law
  • Proven ability to manage deadlines and work effectively in a high-volume setting
  • Strong legal writing and communication skills
  • Eager to learn, coachable, and responsive to feedback

Workers' Compensation Defense Attorney Preferred Background & Skills

  • Previous experience in workers' compensation or insurance defense (internship, clerkship, or associate-level)
  • Comfortable appearing in court and communicating with judges
  • Strong organizational and follow-through skills

Workers' Compensation Defense Attorney Day-to-Day Responsibilities

  • Assist in managing an active caseload of workers' compensation defense matters
  • Appear at WCAB hearings with increasing independence over time
  • Draft pleadings, motions, discovery, and status reports
  • Support depositions, mediations, and settlement negotiations
  • Communicate with clients, insurance carriers, employers, and third-party administrators
  • Collaborate closely with senior attorneys to deepen litigation and case evaluation skills

This is a great fit for early-career attorneys looking to move beyond research and into meaningful advocacy and hands-on casework—in a firm where advancement is supported and success is recognized.
