Wilkinson Stekloff Adds More Firepower, Including Two Supreme Court Clerks, to Associate Ranks

WASHINGTON – Wilkinson Stekloff, the boutique trial litigation firm launched just eighteen months ago, announced Monday that it will add seven new attorneys to its current roster of highly skilled and accomplished associates. Two of the new hires recently finished coveted clerkships on the U.S. Supreme Court. The group will add even more firepower to the firm’s already-impressive team of diverse and talented young lawyers. No longer a start-up, the firm dubbed by Benchmark as “Boutique Law Firm of the Year,” has grown to 38 lawyers, with offices in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and New York.

“We are thrilled to welcome these talented lawyers to the Wilkinson Stekloff team,” said Sean Eskovitz, a founding partner of the firm. “When we started Wilkinson Stekloff, we set out to build a firm that attracts top talent and helps young lawyers grow into superlative trial litigators. These seven are among the best and brightest, and we are excited to have them working with us and on behalf of our clients.”
