The Role
We are seeking high-caliber Hearing Representatives to manage a robust caseload of lien files. This is not a back-office role; you will be the face of the firm before WCAB judges, navigating complex medical-legal disputes and driving claims to an expedient resolution.

Disability Rating: Utilize the AMA Guides to accurately rate permanent disability.
Litigation & Appearances: Represent insurance carriers, TPAs, and employers at Mandatory Settlement Conferences (MSC), Status Conferences, and Walk-Through settlements.
Negotiation: Lead strategic negotiations with lien claimants to mitigate costs and close files.
Legal Drafting: Prepare high-quality petitions, declarations, position statements, and settlement documents.
Qualifications
Experience: 3-20 years of California Workers Compensation defense experience specifically as a Hearing Representative.
Technical Expertise: Mastery of the AMA Guides and experience with substantive medical lien hearings (not just copy liens).
Advocacy: Proven track record of appearing before WCAB judges and arguing effectively on your feet.
Workflow: Proficiency in digital, paperless environments and strong written communication for client reporting.
Why Join Our Client?
True Remote Flexibility: Fully remote setup with provided equipment (laptop, monitors, keyboard).
Specialized Support: Work under a dedicated Hearing Rep Management team (Megan and Z)-you are a core part of the practice, not an afterthought.
Firm Stability: An established 30-year history with the momentum of a firm currently in a 20% growth phase.
Full Benefits: 401(k) with employer contribution, comprehensive medical/dental/vision, Life/Disability insurance, FSA, and PTO.
