We are seeking a seasoned professional with proven experience managing attorneys and legal counsel, coupled with a deep understanding of litigation strategy—particularly within the workers' compensation space. As the Workers' Compensation Counsel, you excel at navigating and adapting to different regulations, processes, and proceedings across multiple states. You understand medical reimbursement in workers' compensation and use that knowledge to drive efficient, compliant case resolution. You bring agility, insight, and leadership to thrive in a dynamic legal and regulatory environment. In this role, you will report to the Chief Executive Officer.

Responsibilities

  • Manage day-to-day litigation activities across multiple states, including filings, hearings, and dispute resolution.
  • Develop and implement litigation strategies for workers' compensation, including complex claims.
  • Provide guidance and oversight to external attorneys and in-house counsels, shaping approaches to multi-state cases.
  • Monitor evolving regulations and industry best practices to inform strategy and ensure compliance.
  • Advise internal teams on risk management and optimal case outcomes.
  • Apply expertise in medical reimbursement to drive efficient, compliant case resolution.
  • Directly review and handle complex workers' compensation claims as needed.
  • Collaborate with internal teams and external stakeholders to execute case strategies and achieve results.

Qualifications

  • Juris Doctor (JD) degree and active bar license in Oregon; multi-state licensure a plus.
  • 5-10 years' experience managing attorneys and legal counsel, preferably in workers' compensation.
  • Strong expertise in workers' compensation litigation strategy, including complex cases.
  • Deep knowledge of multi-state regulations, procedures, and compliance requirements in workers' compensation.
  • Proficiency in medical reimbursement practices and their application in workers' compensation claims.
  • Demonstrated ability to balance strategic oversight with hands-on case management.
  • Experience working with expert witnesses in litigation or claims resolution.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and collaboration skills across teams and stakeholders.
  • Proven ability to adapt quickly to evolving regulations and changing case dynamics.
  • Must be based in the Portland metro area or able to commute regularly.
