Pros

Good place to start if you're not a seasoned attorney. You can get your foot in the door if you're looking to enter the legal field, and after a couple of years, you can put Wilson Elser on your resume. It's a national firm so the name is highly recognizable.

Cons

They don't pay well. Unless you're a seasoned attorney who's coming in with your own business, you don't have much leverage to negotiate a high salary. The IT department is not very organized; they're understaffed so everyone seems to be stressed and overworked and can't get back to you in time.

Pros

Excellent mentorship and approachable partners who genuinely invest in developing junior attorneys. Associates receive meaningful responsibility early, including depositions, court appearances, client interaction, and substantive motion practice. The office culture is collaborative, and there are ample opportunities for professional development and hands-on litigation experience. Hybrid work flexibility is also a plus.

Cons

Litigation can be fast-paced, and balancing multiple cases and competing deadlines requires strong organization and responsiveness. Workload can fluctuate depending on your docket and trial schedule, so there are periods when the hours are heavier.

Pros

Great benefits, pay is okay. Partners are reasonable and nice.

Cons

Firm is misogynistic. They either drove someone to quit/fired really good talent and one of the only attorneys that was sweet to the staff after they took the side of male colleague in their interpersonal issue. Watched this person get bullied and firm did nothing. A lot of exclusive groups and mean girl behavior in chicago office it is really a shame
