August 5, 2026 - 00:12

Wilson Sonsini Goodrich and Rosin has brought in Victor Nuñez as its next chief financial officer, tapping a seasoned law firm finance leader to oversee the firm's global financial operations. Nuñez will step into the role immediately, taking charge of accounting, budgeting, treasury, and financial planning across all of the firm's offices worldwide.

Nuñez arrives from another major legal player, where he spent nearly a decade shaping financial strategy and modernizing reporting systems. His background includes deep experience with the financial complexities of large, multi-practice law firms, including partner compensation structures, international tax considerations, and long-term capital planning. The firm's leadership says his track record of driving operational efficiency and supporting strategic investments made him the right fit as Wilson Sonsini continues to expand its corporate, litigation, and technology practices.

The appointment comes at a time when the firm is pushing into new markets and scaling its services for high-growth companies. Nuñez will work closely with the managing partners and the executive committee to align financial priorities with the firm's growth roadmap. He will also oversee the finance team's transition to more data-driven decision making, with an emphasis on real-time performance tracking and cost management.

In a statement, the firm's managing partner highlighted Nuñez's ability to balance fiscal discipline with the needs of a fast-moving practice. Nuñez himself noted that he was drawn to the firm's culture of innovation and its strong position in the tech and life sciences sectors. He replaces the outgoing CFO, who is leaving after a successful tenure to pursue other opportunities. Nuñez will be based in the firm's New York office and will report directly to the managing partner.
