With an emphasis on professional development and an enlightened outlook on personal priorities, Wilson Elser has become one of the very best places – in the legal field and elsewhere – to enjoy a successful and rewarding career.
Invested in Our Associates’ Success
We entrust our associates with meaningful legal experiences – including trial work – early and often. Whether learning from some of the country’s best litigators, staying current with mandatory professional learning through CLE courses offered in-house, or taking advantage of mock trials and other training overseen by our National Trial Team, Wilson Elser associates are well prepared to scale the steepest learning curve and enjoy the prospect of accelerated professional growth.
An Ideal Destination for Experienced Attorneys
Wilson Elser offers lateral attorney hires the opportunity to work on dynamic, collaborative teams for top clients. We provide the connections, information and other forms of support that will allow their quick assimilation into the firm and, to the extent applicable, uninterrupted levels of service for their standing clients. We also allow time for family and outside interests and encourage community involvement via billable pro bono hours. Laterals who are entrepreneurial, ambitious and enthusiastic about building a large practice will thrive at Wilson Elser.
Shared Principles and Values
Our principles and values start with a recognition that diversity – of people and perspectives – makes us a stronger law firm and enables us to better meet the needs of our clients. At Wilson Elser, you’ll find attorneys of diverse backgrounds leading client engagements, practices and offices nationwide. You’ll also find vibrant affinity groups – including one dedicated to women and another to the LGBT community – under our broad Diversity & Inclusion umbrella.
Modern Work Arrangements
Wilson Elser advocates modern work arrangements driven by each individual’s needs. We have invested heavily in technologies that enable remote access to all files and apps from a laptop. Respectful of personal lives, we support flexible work arrangements for many of our attorneys. This might take the form of reduced workdays or work-from-home or other family-friendly arrangements.
Strength and Stability
Wilson Elser provides a lasting and secure environment in which to develop a robust practice. Strong and stable, we measure our relationships with several key clients in decades rather than years. Recent new business gains have been in cutting-edge categories – such as cyber and life sciences – with clients including Amazon and Uber.
