Lateral Hire Opportunities

Partners

Wooden McLaughlin strives to exceed the commonly accepted standards of professionalism and client service. Our attorneys are talented, dedicated, and committed to helping our clients succeed. We seek experienced lawyers who are: entrepreneurial; client-service oriented; team players; respectful of our firm’s collegial atmosphere; and who share Wooden McLaughlin’s core values.

Integration is critical to each lawyer’s success and to ours. We work hard to assimilate you into the firm quickly and efficiently so you can “hit the ground running.” We believe this is both beneficial for you and your clients. If you are looking for a new challenge and have existing clients who would be better served by you being at a new firm, please submit your resume and cover letter and direct all questions or inquiries to Scott Matucha, Chief Operating Officer at Scott.Matucha@WoodenLawyers.com.

Associates

Because associates are a vital part of the firm, selection is made with considerable care. As a new lawyer at Wooden McLaughlin, we provide support and training to help you to build the skills needed to grow a sophisticated legal practice and develop rewarding client relationships. We assist you with practice skill development, understanding the business of operating a law firm, marketing, and business development skills. We are proud of our track record of hiring associates that become successful partners and long term contributors in their areas of focus. Current opportunities, if any, can be found below.  If you are interested in being considered for current or future associate opportunities, please send a copy of your law school transcript, cover letter, writing sample, and resume to Amy VonDielingen at Amy.VonDielingen@WoodenLawyers.com or One Indiana Square, Suite 1800, Indianapolis, IN 46204.

Summer Associates

Wooden McLaughlin’s summer program is designed to give summer associates a clear picture of what it is like to practice law. Summer associates will be assigned a partner mentor and will work with both partners and associates at the firm. In addition to providing research and writing support in several practice areas, summer associates attend depositions, hearings, mediations, closings and client meetings.

We consider the summer associate program an important recruiting tool, and as such, we want each summer associate to be given the chance to show his or her capabilities by working on meaningful projects. At the same time, we want to make sure that summer associates and their spouses or significant others have the opportunity to participate in the social life of the firm in order to provide exposure to all firm members and to enhance the overall summer experience.

We conduct on-campus interviews, but accept applications from students who do not attend the schools at which we interview. We prefer candidates with ties to the Central Indiana area and who have demonstrated high academic achievement.

Please direct all questions or inquiries to Amy VonDielingen, Recruiting Committee Chair, at Amy.VonDielingen@WoodenLawyers.com.
