Staff Benefits and Recognitions

WilmerHale’s staff benefits and recognition programs are second to none, and are a large part of the reason why more than 50% of our support staff has been employed by the firm for more than 10 years. With health coverage, a bountiful paid time off plan, and an exceptional retirement and savings plan, it’s no wonder our staff join the firm and stay. WilmerHale employees are also shown appreciation through several recognition and reward programs.
