Hey fellow law students, law professionals, partners and the members of the bar.
It has often happened to me, in a dozen interviews that I have been asked technical questions and have failed to answer them owing to severe nervousness, getting blanked or simply having not learnt the subject or prepared for it.
Can all of us come and create a repository of interviewers favorite technical questions so that we can all get PPOs, Internships, easily. This has happened to me in corporate law interviews especially when I was in my first two years. In my law school corp law is taught in the fourth year, so for any other person out there who for whatever reason needs some quick interview prep or confidence can come here and atleast be prepared for the most favorite ones.
Even googly questions are welcome, questions which you never expected, we can share anecdotes as well. Let us use this reach of Legally India to help the upcoming batches...and also ourselves. You need not write an answer to those questions, just the questions themselves would do. Or, whatever you prefer. We can write down what questions we were asked in the interview. There is no need to mention your firm, your year, your law school. Just maybe the position you are interning for and the questions asked.
Lets make interview preparation a bit easier and convenient.
Interviewed for a couple of position (~6 month PQE):
Corp (PE/VC):
1. Can a contract be terminated without a termination clause?
2. Essentials of a contract.
3. What are the essentials of an indemnification clause, how will you review an indemnification clause and what are the key ingredients of an indemnification clause.
4. SHA over AoA.
5. CV based questions.
6. what happens to an AoA upon execution of an SSHA, will it change, if yes, which clauses and how?
