Workers’ Compensation Associate Attorney - Compromise & Release

Job Description

Position Overview

Abramson Labor Group is seeking a detail-oriented attorney to join our Associate Review Team. In this role, you will review and edit Compromise and Release (C&R) agreements before they are filed with the WCAB, so that every settlement we submit is accurate, complete, and positioned for approval. This is a high-volume, deadline-driven position suited to someone who works efficiently, stays organized under pressure, and takes pride in getting the details right the first time.

Key Responsibilities

• Review and edit C&R agreements and related addendums prepared by the settlement team, confirming accuracy and completeness before filing.
• Verify settlement terms against the case file, including ADJ numbers, dates of injury, body parts, settlement amounts, attorney fees, permanent disability advances, liens, and future medical provisions.
• Review addendums and attachments, such as Employment Separation Agreements, Medicare-related language, and other supplemental terms, for consistency with the C&R and compliance with WCAB requirements.
• Identify and correct errors, omissions, and problematic language that could result in an Order Suspending Action (OSA) or delay approval.
• Communicate clearly with Settlement Admins and other internal teams about required corrections so documents move through the pipeline without unnecessary back-and-forth.
• Manage a steady daily caseload, prioritize files by urgency and deadline, and keep reviews moving so settlements are filed on time.
• Maintain accurate status updates and notes in the firm's case management system.

What This Role Requires

• High-volume capacity. You will review a large number of settlement documents on a daily and weekly basis and must maintain quality at that pace.
• Deadline management. Hearing dates, filing deadlines, and client expectations drive the work. You must meet turnaround times consistently.
• Strong organization. You will juggle multiple files at different stages at once, so you need a reliable system for tracking what's pending, what's corrected, and what's ready.
• Time management and prioritization. You must decide quickly what needs attention first and adjust as priorities shift throughout the day.
• Exceptional attention to detail. A single wrong date, amount, or missing term can delay a client's settlement, and precision is essential.
• Clear, efficient communication. You will give concise, actionable feedback to the team and escalate issues when needed.
• Independence with accountability. You will work through your queue with minimal supervision while knowing when to raise a concern.

Qualifications

• Comfortable with fast-paced work environments
• Excellent writing and verbal communication skills
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
• Candidates must be in good standing with the California State Bar

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with California workers' compensation, particularly on the applicant side.
• Familiarity with C&R drafting, WCAB approval requirements, and common OSA issues.

Bilingual English/Spanish is a plus.
