  • Maintain consistent communication with clients and internal team members
  • Ensure matters move efficiently toward resolution while maintaining accuracy and quality
  • Collaborate with case managers, assistants, paralegals, and firm leadership
  • Meet performance expectations tied to settlement volume and fees recovered

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to work independently in a remote environment during local business hours
  • Comfortable working in a performance-focused environment with computer activity monitoring
  • Spanish-language fluency preferred

Benefits:

  • Access to offices in Los Angeles, Redwood City, and Brentwood
  • 401(k) plan with 100% employer matching on the first 3% contributed and 50% matching up to 5%
  • Immediate 401(k) eligibility
  • One week of vacation during the first year with two weeks negotiable based on experience
  • Vacation accrual beginning after 90 days
  • 40 hours of paid time off annually
  • Standard paid holidays
  • Firm typically closes between Christmas and New Year’s Day
  • Performance-based year-end bonus
