      Corporate Paralegal Interview

      Nov 6, 2021
      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at A&O Shearman (London, England)

      Interview

      The first-stage interview lasted around 45 minutes. I was interviewed by two Counsels in the Corporate team. This interview started with a run-through of my CV and work experience. I was asked to speak about my experience, and I was questioned more on certain roles and experiences that were applicable and related to the role I was interviewing for. I then got asked "Why law/why did I want to pursue a legal career?", and "Why corporate law". Next, I was asked some competency-based questions, I.e. talk about a time where you have had to deal with a difficult colleague/client. We then had a brief discussion about my interests and hobbies, and how skills I had gained from these could be applicable to the role. Finally, I was given the opportunity to ask questions. I was successful with the first interview, so the final stage interview was with the Paralegal who was moving on from the role I interviewed for. It was more of an informal 'coffee catch-up' and lasted 30 minutes. I had the opportunity to ask more specific questions about the role etc.
