The interview process was really nice and the interviewers were very down to earth. You should be ready to talk about your past roles and have a solid reason for wanting to join DLA Piper. Make sure to prepare some questions for the interviewers and demonstrate a strong interest in the position.

Typical Biglaw interview process. Started with a screen and then moved to a full callback round. Nothing unexpected. The interview itself was with a Partner at the New York City office, conducted over Zoom. It lasted around 20 minutes, which is pretty standard for a screener.
