Work that matters, and a team that supports YOU

Nixon Gwilt Law is the smarter choice for healthcare innovators. Our Firm works with Healthcare Provider Entities, Digital Health Businesses, Medical Device Businesses, International Innovators, Investors, Startups, and Growth Stage Businesses to improve patient access, care, and health outcomes.

As a female-founded and female-led firm with a commitment to social justice and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) that guides how we build our team and client base, we plan to leave the world a better place. We want to work with people who feel the same way.

• Ongoing professional development for every team member;

• Mentoring baked into the way we work;

• Fully remote workforce (with a few in-person firm retreats a year);

• Merit-based advancement rather than seniority-based;

• Business development training and support to help build a practice;

• Collaborative work style that puts junior attorneys on client teams from the start;
