At Wilcox Prochnow, associates aren't bench warmers. From your first month, you're in the room — with clients, with partners, and eventually, with juries. If that's what you came to law school for, we should talk.
We are a lean, trial-focused firm. Every person here carries real responsibility from day one. That means the work is harder — and the growth is faster than anywhere else you'll find.
You will speak with clients, attend client meetings, and build real relationships — not pass messages through layers of seniority.
Second chair from month one. Depositions, hearings, motions — you're not watching from the sidelines, you're preparing and participating.
Your briefs get filed. Your arguments get made. Partners edit, not replace — your voice stays in the work.
You'll know what it feels like to carry a matter. We support you completely — but we treat you like the professional you are.
Chad and Andrew are reachable. Questions get answered, strategy gets discussed, and mentorship is a daily reality — not a quarterly check-in.
"I had taken a deposition and argued a motion in limine before my first year was up. I wasn't handed those opportunities — I earned them. But they were there to be earned, which matters."
— Associate Attorney, Wilcox Prochnow"This is where serious lawyers come to do serious work. Not in five years — now."
— Chad Wilcox, Founding PartnerMost firms are built around billing. We're built around winning. That one difference changes everything about what your career here looks like.
Work from wherever you do your best thinking. We care about the quality of your briefs and the strength of your arguments — not your office attendance record.
Partner-led mentorship. Every brief reviewed personally. Strategy sessions that teach you how winning lawyers think — not how billing partners bill.
You'll work on cases with real outcomes — nine-figure insurance disputes, bet-the-company litigation, and matters that move markets. And we win them.
Flat structure. No rainmaker hierarchy to navigate, no queue for interesting work. Your output determines your trajectory — nothing else.
Coastal retreats, Friday wins, and people you'll genuinely want to spend time with. Great lawyering and a great culture aren't mutually exclusive here.
Market-rate base, performance bonuses tied to outcomes, and a clear path to partnership. We pay for excellence because we expect it — and we deliver it.
We hire rarely and intentionally. Every opening is a real opportunity to do real work.
We occasionally hire outside of posted openings for the right person. If you're a trial-oriented attorney who doesn't settle for less, send us your resume anyway.
