Associate Attorney - Workers Compensation

Location: Remote (must reside in Florida – Statewide)

Kelley Kronenberg is expanding its Workers’ Compensation Defense practice and looking for an Associate Attorney ready to manage a full caseload with real independence. Working alongside an experienced Partner, you’ll take matters from intake to resolution on your own docket, in a fully remote role open to attorneys anywhere in Florida. This is an opportunity to sharpen your litigation skills with the backing of a firm genuinely invested in your growth.

• Take full ownership of a defense caseload, managing each file from assignment through final disposition within a remote, team-oriented environment.
• Weigh in on litigation strategy alongside senior attorneys, from early case evaluation to ongoing approach.
• Comb through medical records to lay the factual groundwork for liability defenses and broader case strategy.
• Produce the core legal work product — pleadings, motions, and discovery responses — that keeps each matter moving forward.
• Act as a consistent point of contact for clients, carriers, and employers, keeping everyone aligned as cases progress.

• Juris Doctor and active membership in good standing with the Florida Bar.
• At least 3 years of experience practicing as an attorney.
• Strong legal writing skills, paired with sound judgment and the interpersonal ability to manage client relationships effectively.
• Comfort working in a fully virtual practice, with the discipline to meet deadlines and use legal technology effectively without in-office supervision.
• Demonstrated ability to turn complex medical records into clear, persuasive legal argument.

• Background specifically in Workers’ Compensation defense.
• Experience with virtual depositions, mediations, or court appearances.

We offer a competitive base salary with annual bonus potential, employer-paid PPO health coverage (dental and vision available), and a 401(k) with a strong employer match. Attorneys here also get real time off — PTO, floating holidays, and dedicated mental health days — along with the freedom to work from anywhere in Florida. Even as a remote firm, we’ve built a real sense of connection through virtual team events and firm-wide celebrations.

We are an equal opportunity employer, and all qualified applicants will be considered without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
