Work and Life Balance
We cultivate a work environment that encourages lawyers to practice law in a manner consistent with the firm’s core values of quality, excellence and service to clients, while maintaining rewarding family and personal lives. This goal is rooted in the fundamental notion that our firm benefits from having lawyers who excel in the practice of law, as well as in other aspects of their lives. Therefore, we are committed to providing our lawyers with the support they need to balance their professional obligations with their personal lives. We offer alternative work arrangements that include part-time, flextime and remote work schedules, as well as generous parental and family leaves, subsidized emergency childcare, and the technology required for working outside of the office.
As an inaugural signatory of the American Bar Association Well-Being Pledge for Legal Employers, we are committed to helping lawyers maintain positive mental health and combat substance abuse. To us, well-being pertains to emotional, physical and financial health, and achieving well-being is a broad and continuous process in which individuals strive to thrive in each dimension of their lives, including in their workplaces, families and communities. With these definitions in mind, we offer support to anyone in crisis and provide resources to promote the overall well-being of every individual in the WilmerHale community through health, well-being and crisis response policies and programs.
