Workers' Compensation Attorney

Career Consulting Partners has partnered with a young and growing boutique workers' compensation defense law firm. We are building the firm of the future with an employee-centric model.

Our firm is located in the San Fernando Valley. This is a full-time Remote Attorney role with no obligation to work in the office. All at-home office equipment will be provided. However, the attorney is required to travel for in-person appearances such as depositions, walkthroughs, expedited hearings, and trials.
