    Job Description

    ** Workers' Compensation Attorney**

    A well-established plaintiff-side firm representing injured workers across Ohio is growing its Workers' Compensation department and looking for a Workers' Compensation Attorney who wants to build a meaningful practice advocating for clients during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

    This is an excellent opportunity for a newer attorney to step into real responsibility early, work directly with experienced partners, and grow into a long-term career. We provide the training, mentorship, and support to help you develop into a strong workers' compensation advocate.

    ** Why Join Us**

    • Real responsibility early, with the chance to manage your own files and appear at hearings rather than waiting years for substantive work
    • Direct mentorship from experienced partners who are invested in your development
    • A clear, defined path for growth, including opportunities to assist on mandamus appeals and argue before the Tenth District
    • A collegial, team-oriented environment where your work directly impacts the lives of injured workers
    • The stability of an established firm with the room to build a long-term career

    ** What You'll Do**

    • Represent and counsel clients on their rights and obligations in workers' compensation matters
    • Monitor cases to ensure clients receive all benefits they are entitled to
    • Negotiate with adjusters and opposing counsel to reach fair and timely resolutions
    • Attend hearings before administrative bodies and courts throughout Ohio
    • Review case files and medical documentation to evaluate treatment status, case value, and next steps
    • Communicate regularly with clients and medical providers to manage expectations and answer questions
    • Properly handle liens, letters of protection, notice requirements, and key deadlines on every file
    • Provide coverage and support to other attorneys as needed

    ** What We're Looking For**

    • JD and admission to the Ohio Bar (required)
    • New graduates and attorneys with 1-2 years of experience are encouraged to apply; workers' compensation experience is a plus but not required
    • Strong written and verbal communication skills
    • Genuine empathy for clients and the ability to manage client relationships with care
    • Strong organization, analytical ability, and attention to detail
    • A team player with a strong work ethic and a desire to grow

    ** Location**

    Hybrid role based in the Cleveland/Euclid area. We are also open to candidates in Columbus, Dayton, Cincinnati, and Toledo.

    We offer a full benefits package, including health insurance, 401(k) with employer match, and paid time off.

    We are an equal opportunity employer.
