Additional Information

Wiley is home to a dynamic group of attorneys dedicated to our clients, our work, and our community. At Wiley, we aim to leverage our collaborative culture to celebrate the collective strength of all people – all under one umbrella.

Wiley is committed to inclusion and engagement, fostering a culture where all employees are encouraged to bring their unique perspectives to the table. The firm’s dedication to pro bono work and community service underscores its commitment to making a positive impact beyond the legal profession.

Wiley also invests in the next generation of legal leaders through strategic pipeline initiatives. We offer scholarships for pre-law and 1/2L law students who have demonstrated financial need, academic achievement, leadership, and resilience. These programs provide critical exposure to the legal field and help build pathways to success.

Our affinity groups play a central role in promoting connection and growth within the firm. These member-founded groups—including AANHPI Lawyers, Black Lawyers, Latinx Lawyers, LGBTQ+ Lawyers, Parents-in-the-Law & Allies, Veterans, Military Families & Allies, and the Women’s Forum—meet regularly to foster mentorship, inclusion, and professional development.

Our efforts have earned national recognition. We once again received a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index and were named a Top Performer and Compass Award recipient by the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity—our fourth time receiving this honor. We also continue to be recognized among the Washington Business Journal’s top corporate philanthropists.
