Wood Smith Henning & Berman Lawyer Interview Questions
& Process

Be ready to interview here on five hours notice. A few days after submitting an application to this firm, I received an email to schedule a zoom interview...that same day, on five hours notice. I respectfully informed HR staff that I was not available to interview that afternoon, which was a Monday. I then provided multiple alternative times throughout the upcoming week when I could be available. This was confirmed, and I was told the firm just needs to coordinate the partner's schedule, etc. I never heard back. I followed up with HR twice, then once directly with the partner. So, if you apply here, be ready to interview on five hours notice.

It was a pretty standard interview for this type of role. Since it was during COVID, it was a video call with three partners. They asked me some basic stuff about my background that applies to the job, what I was looking for salary-wise, and what I hoped to gain from the role.

I was contacted directly by a partner in the practice group I applied to. They had really impressive credentials and were very personable. They took the time to get to know me and ensure I was a good fit for the practice group.
