What Interviewers Evaluate

Frequently Asked Questions

In-house vs law firm experience?

Both are valued for different reasons. In-house experience shows business orientation. Firm experience demonstrates legal rigor. Many in-house roles value a mix of both backgrounds.

What practice areas matter?

Focus on practice areas relevant to the role—corporate, employment, IP, regulatory. Generalist skills are valuable in-house, but expertise in key areas for the business matters most.

How do I show business orientation?

Prepare examples of practical legal advice that enabled business objectives. Discuss how you balance legal protection with business needs. In-house roles value lawyers who are business partners.

What about management experience?

Leadership experience matters for senior roles. Discuss managing legal teams, outside counsel relationships, or cross-functional initiatives. Management skills distinguish senior counsel candidates.
