Meet the Business Owner

Emily W.

Business Owner

Emily currently serves as Managing Partner of Wilkinson Mazzeo. At her previous gig as General Counsel at Invisible Children, she became a connoisseur of nonprofit and creative legal affairs. And before that, she punched multitasking in the face by building the organization’s Advisory Council & Board of Directors. And before that, she directed a documentary in Cambodia that aired on PBS. She’s been balancing her love of law with her love of storytelling and filmmaking ever since. Other loves include not dressing like a lawyer, serving on the Board of TEDx and Creative Mornings San Diego, working on her car (a ’71 VW Kharmann Ghia named Tigerlily), and hanging with her twin sister (named Rose). Being the incredibly fair and impartial lawyer that she is, she loves all of the above equally (with liberty and justice for all).
