Paralegals At Willkie U.S.

At Willkie you’ll gain hands-on experience working directly with partners and associates on a variety of matters. We insist on the highest professional and ethical standards, and use cutting-edge technology to handle client matters efficiently and accurately.

Our continued success depends on our ability to attract, train, and retain the best talent. Most of our U.S. paralegals hold undergraduate degrees from four-year institutions and/or paralegal certificates from an ABA-approved program. Some of our paralegals have advanced degrees and other certifications.

We look for candidates with outstanding academic records, work experience, and excellent written and verbal communication skills. Paralegals must possess good judgment, be detail-oriented, well organized, and able to manage multiple tasks. We’re committed to hiring the best candidates from diverse backgrounds.
