Jonathan Wilcon ’15 - Associate at Morgan Lewis

from SPARKS · host Jonathan Wilcon, Melanie Leslie, Carey Bertolet Grand

In this episode of SPARKS, we talk with Jonathan Wilcon ’15, an associate at Morgan Lewis. He reflects on his path from aspiring prosecutor to renewable energy attorney, and how each step, from civil litigation to corporate transactions, built on the lessons and relationships formed at Cardozo. Jonathan credits his time in the Securities Arbitration Clinic, strong academic performance, and the support of close classmates and mentors for shaping his approach to law and career growth.Jonathan also shares how embracing a bit of pessimism is essential to anticipating risk and guiding clients wisely.Listeners will hear valuable advice for current students on taking critical feedback, learning from what doesn’t fit, and keeping an open mind as interests evolve. Jonathan’s story is a reminder that no one succeeds alone, and that sometimes, success comes from seeing around the corner. Cardozo School of Law
