Pro­fes­sion­al Staff

Our staff is the heart­beat of our firm and the back­bone of every­thing we do for our clients. We know that our rep­u­ta­tion for out­stand­ing ser­vice is a result of our staff’s ded­i­ca­tion and excel­lence, and we’re always look­ing to add to our team with peo­ple who share these prin­ci­ples. Staff mem­bers at our firm are remark­able. So much so that they could choose to work at vir­tu­al­ly any firm in the region. We strive every day to make Woods Ovi­att Gilman the firm they want to call home for their entire careers and one that staff mem­bers of oth­er firms can view with envy. 

If there are cur­rent­ly no job open­ings that match your skills or back­ground, we encour­age you to join our tal­ent com­mu­ni­ty. By doing so, we’ll have access to your cre­den­tials, mak­ing it eas­i­er for us to con­sid­er you for upcom­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties that align with your profile.

Dis­claimer: Legal search firms must sub­mit all can­di­dates through the Direc­tor of Human Resources, Rob Sih­to at rsihto@​woodsoviatt.​com and have a signed fee agree­ment in place before any can­di­date is inter­viewed. Can­di­dates sub­mit­ted through any oth­er chan­nel, includ­ing by direct email to any attor­neys or oth­er staff, are not eli­gi­ble for place­ment fees.

For the avoid­ance of doubt, Woods Ovi­att Gilman is under no oblig­a­tion to pay any fee absent a signed fee agreement.

Don’t just take our word for it — let our employ­ees take the stand 

Sure, we can keep telling you what a great place Woods Ovi­att Gilman is to work. Or we could let our employ­ees speak for them­selves — which we’ve done. See below for var­i­ous real-life tes­ti­mo­ni­als from our very own pas­sion­ate, ded­i­cat­ed people. 

Here’s what some of our employ­ees have to say about work­ing at Woods Ovi­att Gilman:

“I was hired at Woods Ovi­att Gilman with no pri­or legal expe­ri­ence. I was try­ing to break into the legal field and had been apply­ing to law firms for six months with no luck. Woods Ovi­att Gilman decid­ed to take a chance on me and hired me in March of 2022 to work as a Legal Assis­tant in the Elder Law prac­tice of the Trusts & Estates Depart­ment . From my first day at Woods, my super­vi­sors rec­og­nized that I was eager to learn, and took time out of their busy sched­ules to explain and teach things to me about their prac­tice. I have incred­i­ble men­tors here who have advo­cat­ed for me and cre­at­ed numer­ous oppor­tu­ni­ties for me to grow my legal career. I feel grate­ful to work in an office full of pleas­ant peo­ple who val­ue each oth­er both pro­fes­sion­al­ly, and as indi­vid­u­als. It is obvi­ous that every­one at Woods gen­uine­ly cares about one anoth­er. I love the work we do here and I feel proud to be a part of such a won­der­ful team.”

- Paige J. Winn, Med­ic­aid Legal Assistant

“At Woods Ovi­att Gilman LLP, every day has been a thrilling expe­ri­ence! The team’s dynam­ic ener­gy and unwa­ver­ing ded­i­ca­tion are tru­ly inspir­ing, and I feel priv­i­leged to work with such high per­form­ers. The fir­m’s cul­ture of auton­o­my and open­ness to fresh ideas allows me to con­tribute mean­ing­ful­ly to the team’s suc­cess. Our shared com­mit­ment to excel­lence and con­tin­u­ous improve­ment keeps us all striv­ing to be our absolute best. I eager­ly antic­i­pate the fir­m’s con­tin­ued growth and the remark­able achieve­ments we will reach togeth­er. Being part of the Woods team is an incred­i­ble hon­or, and I am excit­ed to con­tribute to our col­lec­tive success!” 

- Nick Pasquarel­la, Legal Recruiter

“When I first inter­viewed for Woods, I was intend­ing to take anoth­er offer else­where and did the inter­view just for the expe­ri­ence. I was so impressed by the peo­ple and the com­pa­ny that I turned down the oth­er offer to come here, and I have not once regret­ted my choice. Woods has giv­en me the oppor­tu­ni­ty to grow and thrive. While work­ing for my M&A attor­neys, I’ve also been able to help out and learn about real estate, lit­i­ga­tion, and trusts/​estates. I love the peo­ple, cul­ture, and work envi­ron­ment at Woods. In fact, if I could cre­ate my own ​‘per­fect’ work­place, it would just be a descrip­tion of Woods.”

- Audria Vick­ers, Legal Assistant
