Job Description
ABOUT THE ROLE
A well-established Philadelphia-area regional defense firm with a strong workers' compensation practice is seeking an associate to join its team. The firm represents a diverse roster of employers and insurers across Pennsylvania and New Jersey, handling matters from initial claim through hearing and appeal. Associates manage their own caseloads with support from experienced partners and receive billable credit for training time — including courtroom observation at the outset.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Handle workers' compensation defense matters independently from intake through resolution and appeal
- Appear before Workers' Compensation Judges across the Philadelphia region and surrounding counties
- Draft petitions, answers, and legal memoranda; conduct medical discovery
- Advise employer and insurance carrier clients on claim strategy, exposure, and settlement
- Travel to area counties for hearings as required (mileage and travel expenses reimbursed)
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school; active PA Bar license in good standing
- 2+ years of workers' compensation defense experience; PA & NJ dual licensure preferred
- Strong organizational skills and ability to manage a high-volume caseload independently
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Hearing experience before the PA Workers' Compensation Bureau is a strong plus
WHAT WE OFFER
Competitive salary, multiple financial bonus opportunities throughout the year, comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision, plus billable credit for training. A supportive, collegial environment where associates are given real responsibility and a clear trajectory toward advancement.
