Workers'' Compensation Defense Attorney, Long Beach

Job Description

Job Description

We are looking for a Workers' Compensation Defense Attorney with 5+ years of experience to handle a full caseload of WC defense matters for prestigious national companies and professional sports teams. You'll join a firm with a family-oriented culture, transparent bonus structures, and a real path to partnership— four attorneys were promoted to partner in the last 13 months alone.

What will you be doing?

Owning and managing a full caseload of workers' compensation defense files from investigation through trial

Conducting depositions, attending hearings, and handling all aspects of case strategy

Building and maintaining client relationships with the firm's BD bonus structure ($10/hr on all originated work)

Billing 225+ hours/month with transparent monthly billing bonuses ($1,000 at 225 hrs + $40/hr above that)

Mentoring junior associates through the firm's WC boot camp and shadow-the-partner programs

Key Requirements

5+ years of workers' compensation defense experience (California-focused practice strongly preferred)

Active California Bar admission

Ability to provide a realistic, sustainable monthly billing number (not an all-time peak)

Views WC defense as a long-term career destination— not a stepping stone to plaintiff work or another practice area

Precise total compensation expectation with clear definition (base vs. base + bonus)
