Real Responsibility From The Outset

Our culture emphasizes real responsibility from the outset, which we believe provides the best professional development opportunities. We strengthen this approach with real-time feedback and an extensive training program, and foster relationships through mentoring, on- and off-site social gatherings, and a culture which places a premium on collaboration.

 

Willkie has several early careers programs in place across its offices. Participants work side-by-side with attorneys on all client matters, including pro bono. We recognize the importance of building relationships from the start, and provide the support for our early careers participants to do so. 

 

Our programs include:

  • Belgium: Stagiaires
  • France: Stagiaires
  • Germany: Referendare, Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter und Praktikanten
  • UK: Trainee Solicitors
  • U.S.: Summer Law Clerks (Ranked Among Best Summer Associate Programs - Vault 2023)

Our Most Valuable Asset Is Our People

At Willkie, we believe everyone benefits from a diverse and inclusive workplace, and we are committed to this goal by recruiting, retaining, and promoting people of all backgrounds and cultural experiences.

image-1 icon quote Willkie strongly supports diversity among its practicing attorneys, including by actively recruiting LGBTQ+ law students, and supporting LGBTQ+ initiatives and pro bono work. My practice at Willkie has included working on a number of important cases related to LGBTQ+ issues, and partnering with organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union to advance LGBTQ+ rights across the country. Willkie also has an LGBTQ+ affinity group, which (along with a number of other affinity groups) helps to promote a diverse and welcoming work environment across the firm.

We Commit To Public Service

We take great pride in the volume and variety of work the firm performs on a pro bono basis. The firm has a long-standing commitment to serving the underprivileged and promoting social justice.

Willkie is a member of the Alliance for Asian American Justice, a nationwide coalition formed to provide legal support and advocacy to victims of anti-Asian hate crimes and harassment.

We are a member of Lawyers for Racial Justice, a long-term initiative through the Lawyers For Good Government, addressing issues such as voting rights, immigration, police reform and more.
