What’s the typical process for hiring/interviewing for a lateral position at an AmLaw 100 firm? Ie, how many rounds of interviews, timing between each interview, etc. Do firms typically interview X amount of people initially or does it depend on other factors?

I was hired as a lateral (AmLaw 60ish) last year. I had two rounds of interviews with about a week in between, then an offer ~2 wks later (delayed a little due to timing with associate comp reviews). I got the sense they interviewed until they found someone they liked and there wasn’t a set number of candidates they were looking for.

Very helpful, thanks! I interviewed last week and he said next steps is to get me to meet other associates, but I haven’t yet heard back so I wasn’t sure whether it’s a bad sign I haven’t heard back

Time frames vary from firm to firm and even job to job, but I would follow up if it’s been a week since your interview.

Firms are moving slowly since COVID. Normally time frame to hear back used to be 7-10 days depending on how many candidates they interview. I find it's even slower now like 7-14. 2 rounds definitely and sometimes 3 rounds.

Took about a week after the first interview to hear back

How long did it take you to hear back after callbacks?
