Workers' Compensation Defense Associate Attorney

Current & Future Opportunities | Confidential Career Conversations

Experienced in workers' compensation defense and wondering what your next move could look like?

Aligned Talent Acquisition is always looking to connect with attorneys experienced in employer-side workers' compensation defense and workplace injury claims.

I work primarily with Am Law 50, 100, and 200 firms, but I also frequently partner with small and midsize firms, respected regional firms, and sophisticated boutiques across multiple markets.

Experience That May Be a Fit

• Representing employers, insurance carriers, and third-party administrators.
• Handling contested workers' compensation claims and administrative proceedings.
• Preparing for hearings, depositions, and appeals.
• Advising clients on claim strategy, exposure, and settlement.
• Managing active caseloads and communicating with claims professionals.

Not currently practicing at an Am Law firm? I'd still love to hear from you! I welcome attorneys from specialized workers' compensation practices and firms of all sizes.

What Could Your Next Move Offer?

• Competitive compensation and incentive opportunities
• More manageable caseloads and support resources
• Increased responsibility and client interaction
• Opportunities for hearings, advocacy, and professional development
• Greater flexibility and long-term career advancement

Let's Connect

This is an opportunistic search, not an advertisement for one specific opening. However, I work with numerous law firms across multiple markets and may already have active opportunities that align with your experience and career goals.

Whether there's an immediate fit or we stay connected for the right opportunity down the road, I'd welcome the chance to learn more about your background, compensation expectations, and what matters most to you in your next move.

All conversations are confidential. Your resume and identifying information will never be shared with a firm without your permission.
