Behavioral Technical
The interview process was very casual and conversational. The interviewers were really keen to get to know you. It was a mix of conversational questions, like telling us about yourself and why you're interested in Willkie, and behavioral questions. The interviewers also looked at the resume for anything that stood out and asked us to talk about it.

Behavioral Other
I got contacted about a week before the interview and was given the names of my interviewers the night before. The interview was with an associate and a partner. The associate seemed to be there to check for fit and talked about random things. The partner asked all the questions. It was very helpful that I had looked them up beforehand, which allowed me to ask both of them about their experiences at Willkie based on their bios.
