About Us
Confidential Employer.
We are an Illinois law firm focused on defending employers in workers’ compensation matters. Our team helps clients navigate claims with practical legal guidance, thoughtful preparation, and clear communication. We’re ready to invest in the right attorney’s development.
Job Description
- Help defend workers’ compensation claims from case preparation through resolution.
- Research legal issues, review case materials, and draft legal documents and correspondence.
- Prepare for hearings and other proceedings, with responsibilities matched to your training and admission status.
- Work with our attorneys and clients to develop case strategies and keep matters moving.
- Maintain organized case files, track deadlines, and record billable time accurately.
Qualifications
- You have passed the Illinois Bar Examination; November admission pending is acceptable.
- You are interested in employer-side defense and willing to learn.
- You can meet the applicable office-attendance and travel expectations.
- Workers’ compensation defense and legal billing experience are helpful, not required.
- Experienced attorneys, including in-house counsel and solo practitioners, are also welcome.
Why You Will Love Working Here
We value what you can grow into, not just the experience already on your résumé. You’ll build practical skills through meaningful casework, develop a focused practice, and join a team open to attorneys from different professional backgrounds.
