Hit up Glassdoor. They usually have interview questions to help you prepare. Good luck!

Besides Glassdoor, I think a lot of it tends to be behavioral and situational questions so I would think about some key accomplishments and challenges you can highlight based on the job description of the role

iIagree with the comments above. I would check on glassdoor and see what you can find on there. You can also check out Linked in and see if you can find someone who currently works there to send a message to and ask for more advice!

Be prepared to answer why Shearman and why derivatives.

Did you end up getting an offer? Curious on what they’ve done re hiring given merger talks.

Sorry to hear it

Kind of niche question here but under NY CPLR, if a plaintiff files a MTD/MSJ, and then the defendants file opposition papers containing information that the court had previously ordered to be kept under seal, would you a) file a reply asking to seal/strike the opposition papers or b) file a separate OTSC since you’re now seeking additional relief not sought in the original motion?
