** 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.
