I’m a biglaw attorney with nearly a decade at the same large firm. I started this site in 2018. I graduated from law school right in the middle of my class with not many options. I had to hustle for offers and came out with some options. I got there by outperforming students with better grades because I focused on what I could control: interview skills.
The posts here come directly from an actual mistake pile I’ve kept next to my desk since my third week at the firm. Every error, every lesson, every note to myself. The goal is simple: share what actually works and what I would have wanted when I was in your shoes.
I also wrote Biglaw Interview Advice: A Complete Guide to Interviews, available on Amazon. It’s a complete walkthrough of the biglaw interview process including OCI, callbacks, summer associate evaluations, and lateral interviews.
After nearly a decade of doing this, I offer one-on-one coaching for law students preparing for OCI, summer associates aiming for the return offer, junior associates getting their footing, and mid-level and senior associates planning lateral moves. If you want a real conversation with someone who has been in the building for a long time, the first 15 minutes are free.
This is not legal advice. It’s simply what I would have wanted many years ago.
