Hi everyone - I have an upcoming Sull Crom interview at the beginning of January. I was wondering and would really appreciate any tips/details on what the interview will be like (more commercial/strength/motivation etc based?)

I would also really appreciate any opinions on what sets Sull Crom apart from other law firms (especially other US law firms).

Finally, I was also wondering whether anyone knows what the relevance of lateral hires for a law firm are.

Thanks!

Best,
Aria

    Hey Aria,

    Congrats on the interview. I'm afraid I'm yet to hear from someone interviewing at the firm but will keep an eye out!
