I applied on LinkedIn. The recruiter reached out to set up an initial interview. Overall there were 3 rounds of interviews. The 2nd interview was very detailed. The process took about two and a half weeks.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hogan Lovells (Louisville, KY)
Interview
One of their recruiters contacted me on LinkedIn. I was from another city in a neighboring state at the time, but was interested in possibly relocating. The recruiter gave me a list of questions they would be asking which I thought was odd. He also asked to meet me beforehand in his truck before the 8a interview which was also very odd to me. Not wanting to step on toes, I did it. I don't know if he was trying to help me out for his benefit, but I thought it was a bit unprofessional/inappropriate and it threw me off for the 9a interview to say the least.
The interview process was a bit intensive. Video conferences with several people and offices, sometimes up to 3 people in one office asking questions. I was asked questions about my background, if I could work independently and then about the patent prosecution process. It felt very intensive for a legal assistant position which I was caught off guard about. I blanked on a couple of questions and normally I interview very well.
I never heard from the company after that interview which was also a first for me. It's usually proper etiquette to respond to someone who drove 4 hours round trip to interview, especially to someone you reached out to first.
