Legal Assistant - Settled Cases

Our firm is built on speed, precision, and results-and that doesn't stop when a case settles. The final stage of every case is where trust is earned, clients are paid, and revenue is realized.

We're looking for a Settlement & Subrogation Clerk-someone who thrives on accuracy, moves quickly, and takes full ownership of the disbursement process. This is a high-impact role responsible for turning settlements into fast, clean, and compliant payouts.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare and finalize settlement statements, including attorney fees, costs, liens, and client net recovery.

• Request, track, and resolve medical liens and subrogation claims.

• Communicate with medical providers, insurers, and lienholders to obtain accurate payoff amounts.

• Coordinate and execute client disbursements, ensuring all funds are properly allocated.

• Confirm settlement funds are received and cleared prior to payment.

• Partner with accounting/trust teams to process payments to clients and third parties.

• Clearly explain settlement breakdowns to clients in a professional and understandable manner.

• Maintain accurate, complete, and audit-ready documentation for every file.

• Close out cases once all payments and documentation are finalized.

What We're Looking For

• A detail-obsessed operator with zero tolerance for financial errors.

• Strong ability to manage multiple files and deadlines in a high-volume environment.

• Clear communicator who can confidently work with clients, providers, and internal teams.

• High ownership mentality-you take responsibility for getting cases closed cleanly and correctly.

• Process-driven mindset with the ability to execute quickly and consistently.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in one of the following:

• Personal injury law firm (settlements, case management, or disbursements)
• Lien resolution / subrogation
• Insurance claims (bodily injury or similar)
  
  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy in handling financial information.
  
  • Proven ability to manage high-volume workloads and meet deadlines.
  
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience preparing settlement statements.

• Familiarity with medical liens and subrogation processes.

• Experience working with trust accounting or legal financial workflows.

• Background in a high-volume personal injury firm.

Why this role?

• Direct impact on firm revenue and cash flow-your work ensures cases close and funds are collected

• High ownership role managing the final and most critical stage of the case lifecycle

• Fast-paced, execution-focused environment with clear expectations

• Opportunity to work closely with legal and finance teams

• Be part of a team that values accuracy, speed, and accountability

Compensation & Work Environment

• Competitive base salary ($65,000 - $85,000, depending on experience)

• Performance-based bonus tied to accuracy, speed, and volume

• Full benefits package (health, PTO, etc.)

• Hybrid work environment (in-office onboarding with flexibility after ramp-up)

• Collaborative, high-performance team culture

What Success Looks Like

• Settlements are disbursed quickly (typically within 10-20 days)

• Settlement statements are consistently 100% accurate

• All liens are resolved prior to payment

• Files are closed cleanly with complete documentation

• Attorneys and paralegals are not pulled into disbursement issues
