MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO
Hey, I'm Martina!
I started Premier Pursuit because I’m passionate about helping attorneys build careers they’re genuinely excited about. I graduated from law school and began my career in BigLaw, practicing labor and employment law. After a few years, I made the leap into legal recruiting at an international agency and quickly realized how much I loved guiding attorneys through big career moves. That experience inspired me to create Premier Pursuit—a boutique legal recruiting firm focused on thoughtful, strategic, and personalized placements.

Former BigLaw associate with firsthand insight into law firm culture, expectations, and career paths
Deep network of legal professionals and decision-makers, with access to both posted and unlisted roles

Legal Interviews 101
Legal Interviews 101
Congratulations! You’ve secured an interview for an attorney position—an exciting opportunity to showcase your skills, experience, and potential to your future employer. While interviews can feel nerve-wracking, remember: at their core, they are just conversations. By approaching them with preparation and confidence, you’ll be ready to make a lasting impression.
Legal interviews, however, often come with their own unique challenges, including technical questions and hypothetical scenarios. But fear not! We’ve compiled expert tips to help you excel and confidently navigate your upcoming interview.
1. Prepare Like a Pro
Preparation is key. Research the interviewers as well as the law firm or organization thoroughly—explore their practice areas, notable cases, and core values.
Be ready to discuss your own experiences in detail. Review your resume, think about the challenges you’ve faced in your legal career, and be prepared to explain how your skills align with the role.
2. Emphasize Your Legal Skills
Legal interviews often delve into your expertise. Be prepared to demonstrate your legal knowledge and analytical abilities by discussing how you’ve tackled complex cases or provided innovative solutions to legal challenges.
Remember, this is your time to shine—connect your skills directly to the position you’re interviewing for.
3. Master Behavioral Questions
Behavioral questions don't seem to be as common anymore, but you should still be ready for them. You may be asked how you’ve handled specific situations in the past, your biggest weakness, etc.
Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your answers. This approach ensures your response is clear, focused, and highlights the impact you made.
4. Navigate Hypothetical Scenarios
Sometimes legal interviews include hypothetical scenarios designed to test your critical thinking. Don’t panic! Take a moment to analyze the situation, consider various perspectives, and articulate a thoughtful, well-reasoned response.
Employers aren’t just evaluating your knowledge—they want to see how you approach problems and think on your feet.
5. Showcase Your Values
Interviews aren’t just about your skills—they’re also about cultural fit. Be authentic, be yourself!
Bonus Tip: It's a Two-Way Street
Remember, the interview is also your chance to assess whether the firm is the right fit for you. Ask questions about their culture, expectations, and opportunities for growth. An interview is not just about convincing them—you’re also exploring if this is a place where you’ll thrive.
At Premier Pursuit, we understand that every attorney has unique strengths to highlight during the interview process. If you’re seeking personalized interview coaching to help you stand out, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Contact Premier Pursuit today for tailored interview preparation that aligns with your career ambitions. We can work together to help you secure the opportunity you deserve.
