I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Akerman (Chicago, IL) in May 2025
Interview
Screener with one partner in the practice group. Mostly conversation based with questions about my work. They seemed to do most of the talking. They asked for a written questionnaire in advance as well which you need to send to HR.
The process was all over the phone and very smooth. The partners I spoke with were all very kind and willing to answer questions. I also spoke with a couple of associates who seemed to really enjoy working at Akerman.
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Akerman
Interview
There was an initial screening interview, which was followed by interviews with several attorneys over the course of under two hours. It was pretty straightforward. Mostly seek to get to know the associate candidate and better understand key aspects of the resume, past experience, and general skill and ability. The process was entirely virtual.
