Job description

Forget the “Big Law” grind. We’re a specialized firm in Central Wisconsin focusing on Social Security Disability, Worker’s Compensation, and Elder Law—meaning our work has a real impact on people navigating some of the most challenging moments of their lives.

We’re looking for an Associate to join our growing team—ideally with a background in Workers’ Comp, but we’re more interested in your drive than your years on paper. We don't gatekeep; we’re here to train the next generation of leaders and future partners. Whether you’re a recent grad or looking for a change, if you’re eager to actually practice law in a supportive, collaborative space, we want to help you build a long-term career here.

Why You’ll Want to Build Your Career Here

A Pathway to Leadership

We’re not hiring someone to fill a seat. We’re looking for the right person to grow with us—someone who sees the value in staying long term.

Open Access to Experience

We believe in developing attorneys, not gatekeeping knowledge. You’ll receive hands‑on mentorship in client management, witness examination, negotiations, litigation strategy and leadership.

Meaningful Advocacy

You’ll represent clients who truly need a strong voice, both in administrative hearings and in federal court. Your work will matter every single day.

We Embrace Technology: If you enjoy using technology to work smarter, you’ll fit well here. Our firm invests in modern case-management software, AI, document automation, and other cutting‑edge legal technology. We believe attorneys should spend their time practicing law and serving clients—not getting bogged down in inefficient systems and outdated processes.

What You’ll Bring

• Wisconsin Law License (or on track to obtain one soon)
• Strong Writing Skills with the ability to craft compelling, persuasive briefs
• Empathy and the ability to connect with clients from all backgrounds
• Intellectual Curiosity and a willingness to learn in a teamoriented setting
• Bonus: Experience in Workers’ Compensation or Social Security Law (not required—we’ll train the right person)

• Experience:

  Workers' compensation law: 1 year (Preferred)
  General legal experience in a firm or equivalent 3 to 5 years minimum

• License/Certification:

  License from any state to begin, but need a Wisconsin bar license or plan to take the bar soon (Required)

• Ability to Relocate:

  Nekoosa, WI 54457: Relocate before starting work (Required)
  Work Location: In person

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive Salary, negotiable based on experience and aptitude
• Paid Holiday, Sick, and Vacation Time
• Dental, Vision, Life, and LongTerm Disability Insurance
• 401(k) Retirement Plan
• Health Coverage Support: While we don’t offer a direct health plan, we’ll help you navigate the Marketplace to find the best option for your needs
