Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Morgan Lewis.
Summer Associate
I had a screener with a law school alumni on a web platform, then an interview day in office with 4 interviews with two partners and two senior associates. Heard back the next morning.
- Describe a time you acted as a mentor.
Associate
The interview process is about two hours long, and it involves talking to several different lawyers. It looks like each lawyer has their own set of questions, covering things like personality, your background, and what you expect from the role. Everyone seems pretty nice, and they're really trying to see if you'd be a good fit for their team, and also if the team is a good fit for you.
- Can you share an instance where you encountered uncertainty in legal matters and describe your approach to handling it?
Associate
The interview was about 3 hours long, and I met with six different people at various times. The questions mostly revolved around my background and work experience, but it felt surprisingly superficial for a mid-level associate role. The interviewers didn't seem very organized, and it felt like they'd been interviewing for this position for ages. After the interview, I didn't hear back for four weeks, so I followed up. Ultimately, there was no offer and no feedback.
- Could you describe your typical daily tasks?
