Join our leading law firm as a Workers' Compensation Associate Attorney (Insurance Defense), where you'll actively represent clients in courtroom hearings and argue cases before the Rhode Island Workers' Compensation Court. We're looking for proactive problem solvers who are comfortable in a courtroom setting, have the ability to think on their feet, and possess strong communication and organizational abilities.

We offer a competitive salary range of $100,000 to $120,000, commensurate with experience, along with an outstanding benefits package designed to support your health, well‑being, and financial security. Our comprehensive offerings include:

• Medical, Dental, and Vision

• Group Life Insurance
• Short- and Long-Term Disability coverage

• Associate Education Program

We also value flexibility and understand the importance of work‑life balance, which is why we offer hybrid work arrangements after an introductory period. We invite you to embark on the next step of your professional journey with us.

We are proud to be recognized as one of the premier litigation law firms in the Northeast. We believe that exceptional legal work begins with a strong, supportive team. Joining our Providence office as a Workers' Compensation Associate Attorney means becoming part of a collaborative and collegial environment where your contributions are valued, and your growth is supported. You'll have the autonomy to manage your own caseload while benefiting from mentorship, professional development opportunities, and a firm culture focused on integrity, client service, and effective legal strategy.

As a Workers' Compensation Associate Attorney in our Providence office, your day begins with reviewing your calendar and preparing for scheduled hearings or depositions. Whether you're appearing before the Rhode Island Workers' Compensation Court or strategizing for an upcoming mediation, you're always balancing legal precision with client advocacy.

You’ll spend part of your day drafting motions, reviewing medical records, and analyzing employment documentation to build a sound case strategy. Communication is key—you’ll regularly update clients on case developments, offer strategic advice, and ensure they remain informed and confident in your representation.

Collaboration is encouraged, whether you're consulting with colleagues on a complex claim or discussing legal updates and procedural best practices. Throughout the week, you manage your caseload independently, meet filing deadlines, and participate in negotiations—while maintaining the highest standards of ethical and efficient defense. And with our hybrid work flexibility (after an introductory period), you’ll have the ability to balance courtroom appearances with remote workdays tailored to your productivity.

To thrive in this role as a Workers' Compensation Associate Attorney, you should bring a combination of legal knowledge, practical experience, and a client-focused mindset. Our ideal candidate will meet the following qualifications:

• J.D. and Rhode Island bar admission (in good standing)
• 1‑5 years’ experience in workers' compensation
• Strong courtroom presence and ability to handle hearings independently
• Exceptional time‑management abilities and a proven capacity to adjust seamlessly to changing priorities.
• Excellent communication and organizational skills
• Professional judgment and a commitment to high‑quality client service

If you're ready to take the next step in your legal career and want to be part of a supportive, highly respected team, we encourage you to apply. We look forward to hearing from you!
