Introduce your self - professional questions. The discussions mainly focused on my academic background, internship experience, legal research and drafting skills, as well as my understanding of corporate and commercial law matters. I was also asked several scenario-based and behavioral questions to assess my communication skills, analytical ability, and suitability for the team.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at King & Wood Mallesons in Feb 2026
Interview
Asked a combination of technical questions, questions about your CV (mainly technical questions during the interview), and your future career plans in five years. The interview took approximately 1 hour.
Two rounds. First interview was more formal with a Partner and Senior Associate/Special Counsel. You only get told who they are 15 minutes before the interview so you cannot do research on them specifically. Then the second interview is more of a culture fit. I was a remote candidate so I did it online rather than the traditional coffee/lunch.
