The personal interview was generally what's already been discussed here. Why trilegal, why not litigation, why disputes. Have you explored other areas? It was a fairly relaxed interview because I had worked for this partner before so we knew each other.
I think an important aspect people miss during internships is that they need to try to talk to as many people as possible while working so that atleast they know your face/name. Unfortunately this neutral partner I'm scheduled for tomorrow was not present while I was in office so I'm going in blind. Preparing for a technical interview but hoping they just go HR questions so it's chill.
I would focus more on the recomminding partners interview since mine was pretty technical and was a lot on the work I had done at the firm while interning, apart from basics of contract, transfer of property and arbitration. (Since I was with the Disputes team) i would suggest brushing up basics thoroughly and literally memorize your CV, esp work done and publications.
The second interview by the neutral partner was pretty chill. Direct questions from the CV and some basic HR questions such as Why Trilegal, why disputes, why not litigation, why you etc.
A side note of caution, while scheduling first interview almost guarantees a PPO, the same is not true after callback. You may or may not get it. I say this because many people receive a mail from the HR asking for updated CV and internship worksheets post the callback and think that this might mean a ppo interview will be held. Not true. Personally know someone who got this mail but the persons team refused to take the interview. Post callback, the entire process takes around 6 months, from interview to final offer.
I was also hoping for advice on how to prep for a PPO interview in case I am offered one, any information would be max appreciated!
