Will Wilder was drawn to the law by its power to positively affect people’s lives.

“The fact that you can utilize the law to make a difference in someone's life, whether through civil rights, employee benefits or the vast other areas of law, truly amazes me,” says Will.  

Given that perspective, employee benefits law was a logical choice for Will.

“We live in a time where employee benefits, particularly healthcare and pension plans, have been thrust into the limelight,” says Will.  “I was drawn to it because the work you do directly impacts both businesses and their individual employees.”

He sees his work, in part, as guarding businesses against negative legal impact.

“I view litigation as loss mitigation.  My job is to do what is necessary to lessen the amount of loss, if any, my clients will suffer due to litigation, so they can continue to focus on developing their businesses.” 

In addition to serving his clients well, Will is committed to serving his community.  He currently acts as a mentor with the Thurgood Marshall Academy, and is a founding member of the Covenant House Washington, D.C., Young Professionals Group, a networking organization aimed at involving more young professionals in Covenant House’s services to troubled youth.

Prior to joining Groom Law Group, Will served as a judicial law clerk for the Honorable Maurice A. Ross in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia.  He trained with Department of Labor’s Employee Benefits Security Administration and previously worked for three years in human resources at the Georgia Medical Care Foundation.

He earned a B.S. from the University of Florida and a J.D. from The George Washington University Law School, where he was a Dean’s Fellow and President of the Black Law Students Association. He currently serves as President of the GW Black Law Alumni Association.

Will is admitted to Florida and the District of Columbia.
