Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Screener with partner had basic behavioral questions about how you like law school, why Latham, why this location. Callback it was a mixed bag. Some interviewers were definitely trying to test me with some harder questions (i.e. how does big law comport with your background) but others were very conversational and driven by me asking questions
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Latham & Watkins (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2025
Interview
Went great! Very kind interviewers. It was more of a fluid conversation than a formal interview. I appreciated learning more about their practice groups and specialties. I would recommend this firm.

Conversational interview that lasted about 3 hours with two partners and a mix of senior and junior associates. Got invited to a dinner between the interview and decision, not sure if that factored in at all. Pretty straightforward process.
