Office Interviews

If you are invited to the firm, interviews will consist of a half-day visit, either morning or afternoon. Typically, you will be scheduled to meet with four to six attorneys for approximately 30 minutes each. If you have particular interests or concerns that might be best addressed by lawyers who share those interests—for example, parents, women lawyers, lawyers of color, openly gay lawyers or newly arrived lawyers—please let us know. We will make every effort to accommodate your request.

Travel Reimbursement

Out-of-town candidates: The firm will reimburse the interview expenses of out-of-town candidates who are invited in for a full round of interviews. Reimbursable expenses include reasonable air and train fare, ground transportation, hotel accommodations and reasonable cost of meals. For automobile travel, we will reimburse your mileage, tolls and parking fees. For more specific information, please contact our Legal Personnel and Recruiting Department. We do not reimburse candidates for “prescreening” interviews.

Travel reimbursement form: Either prior to or during your visit to our office, you will receive an interview packet that contains a travel reimbursement form on which you should list your out-of-pocket expenses. Please provide all receipts when submitting your request for reimbursement.
