I can only speak from the biotech patent paralegal position, but WGS had really good training set in place for new tech specs/agents/associates. From my POV, WGS is a great place to learn and get your feet wet then move to another firm if you want to get out of a boutique.

I left because they wouldn’t accept me as a tech spec with only an MS in chemistry, but would’ve loved the opportunity.

Wilson Sonsini is less pf a primadonna. I know people at Wilson and they are there for many years and like it alot. I interviewed 2x within a 5 year period for Wolf and after preliminary interviews with really nice ladies, the attorney interview was a disaster. I really dodged a bullet when they never hired me. This last time I applied for a remote position, the interviewer was really young and unfriendly, and promised to send me over the next level since I have 19 years patent prosecution and litigation experience.......then ghosted me. No rejection email - no explanation as to why I was lied to - nothing. Very disrespectful. So, I'm not a fan of Wolf. Just sayin'...

I am a lateral (not from Wolf), and I like it. It’s different than my previous firms because there’s a lot of responsibility placed on the associates, but it’s great experience and training. People I’ve worked with so far have all been nice and willing to help.

Let me know if you want a referral.

Although I know you don’t need to pass the patent bar to “technically” do patent litigation, would it be a dead end move to pursue patent litigation without a technical degree / admission to the patent bar?
