Attorney-First Year Associate

Goldberg Segalla LLP, a dynamic and rapidly growing law firm with a national practice, is seeking Workers’ Compensation Associates to join our Chicago practice! Ideal candidates will be upcoming 2026 law school graduates, sitting for the bar in July of 2026, , or those ending a clerkship in August of 2026.

The mission of Goldberg Segalla’s Workers’ Compensation practice group is to achieve significant and sustainable reductions to the overall expense of each client’s workers’ compensation program. Our commitment to this mission—and our success in efficient file handling as well as long-range strategic risk-management—has earned us a national reputation for exceeding our clients’ expectations and driving positive change in the practice of workers’ compensation law.

The hallmarks of our innovative practice model include:

• Individual attorney file ownership from conception to closure
• Cutting-edge, value-added programs that identify and neutralize risks and result in fast and efficient resolutions
• Partnering and communicating with each client not only to close individual files, but to develop long-term, comprehensive, and tailor-made improvements to their workers’ compensation programs

The annualized salary for an admitted attorney for this position is $85,000-$100,000. Actual pay may be adjusted based on experience and other job related factors permitted by law. This position offers bonuses and a full benefits package. Our benefits package includes, but is not limited to, health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, a 401(k) plan, flexible spending, and more.

A career here at Goldberg Segalla means more than a job. It means being part of a truly collaborative environment in which “team first” is not just a slogan, but the very foundation that supports our entire firm. Our culture is built on mutual respect and systems that reward working together for the common good instead of striving solely for personal gain. That means the real person behind the resume is just as important — maybe even more so — than the credentials listed on it. Our philosophy has always been that we hire people who are excellent at what they do, and even better human beings. Period.
