Associate Attorney - Workers' Compensation

An established and respected law firm with multiple locations across North and South Carolina is looking for a NC licensed civil litigation attorney with at least 3 years of related experience.  This is a great opportunity for an experienced civil litigator to join an existing practice in this growth role. Candidates must have experience defending civil litigation claims with preference given for handling matters in the area of workers' compensation. Attorney must have strong and demonstrated experience handling cases through hearings, trials and arbitrations.

Job Description:

We are currently seeking lateral associate attorneys with a minimum of 3 years experience practicing workers’ compensation defense litigation, to join our Workers' Compensation team in Columbia. The position offers flexibility with a hybrid work arrangement and is open to both local candidates and those licensed in South Carolina who are interested in relocating to Columbia, South Carolina.  The job responsibilities of this position include:

  • Performing legal analysis on new and existing claims to develop a case strategy
  • Maintaining regular communication with clients
  • Reviewing and analyzing medical records
  • Drafting of pleadings and responding to discovery
  • Taking depositions and attending mediations
  • Attending hearings before the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission.

Qualifications:

  • SC licensed civil litigation attorney with at least 3 years of related experience.
  • Candidates must have experience defending civil litigation claims with preference given for handling matters in the areas of construction litigation, products liability, professional liability, premises liability, and commercial litigation.
  • Attorney must have strong and demonstrated experience handling cases through trials and arbitrations.

What makes this opportunity different:

  • True Trial Work: You will have a lead role in hearings, trials and arbitrations, not just discovery.
  • Modern Benefits: In addition to a full health/retirement suite, the firm offers Student Loan Repayment Assistance and pet insurance.
  • Flexibility: While we maintain a collaborative office, we provide robust remote work capabilities as needed.
  • Bonus: Excellent bonus structure
  • Generous Leave: 3 weeks of PTO plus paid holidays. 

If you are seeking a firm where you can try cases, develop strong client relationships, and there is a clear path for career advancement in a collaborative environment, we encourage you to apply.
