While many of our associates start their careers at Willkie, some join us from other firms, in-house positions, or government. We hire lawyers at different levels of experience based on specific needs.

Willkie has continuously attracted some of the best legal minds in the world by fostering a collegial culture; cultivating an inclusive and diverse workplace; and seeking to inspire all employees to serve as stewards for each other, our clients and the broader community.

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.
