DescriptionLike all divisions at SAIF Corporation, the Legal Division prides itself on providing superior service to employers throughout the state of Oregon, as well as excellent training to SAIF employees.

We think our trial attorneys\’ work is pretty exciting: They represent SAIF and its policyholders at hearings and other claims-related proceedings, and they mediate or negotiate appropriate claims to settlement. As experts in Oregon workers\’ compensation laws and rules, as well as SAIF\’s policies and procedures, they also work closely with staff in the Claims Division and provide legal advice regarding claims to other SAIF staff and our policyholders.

This position has the ability to work remotely from your home in Oregon, however, the selected candidate will need to be available to handle cases largely based out of the Salem and/or Portland area. We regularly review our case assignments and at times make adjustments to location assignments based on business needs.
