Our team is committed to providing top-tier legal representation with a client-focused approach, ensuring that every case receives the attention and expertise it deserves.

At Abramson Labor Group, we foster a dynamic and collaborative work environment where professionals can grow while making a meaningful impact in the lives of our clients. If you are passionate about employment law and workers' rights, we invite you to join our dedicated team.

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.

• 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.
