The interview process consists of a standard HR interview and a final interview. The HR questions are primarily motivational and can be answered successfully with adequate preparation. This stage is quite streamlined with minimal interaction, making it similar to other virtual interviews from different firms. The final interview is challenging and involves intense questions about your CV. It's crucial to know your CV and its contents thoroughly to pass this stage.

after submitting my application online, I had an interview over Zoom. It was pretty standard, covering my experience, studies, and skills. We also talked about expectations, future projects, and what I'm looking for from the law firm. They asked about soft skills like handling stress and time management. The whole thing lasted about 30 minutes, and they just said to prepare for classic interview questions.
