Main skills

What the interview asks about

1. 1.Identifying hidden contract risks

   Many contract dangers emerge only in edge cases or interaction with other clauses; your role is to surface these before they cause disputes.

   For example: “You review a service agreement with a 90-day termination clause and a separate provision requiring 30 days' notice for any renewal decision. What interaction between these clauses creates a gap, and how would you flag it to the client?”

2. 2.Multi-jurisdiction compliance mapping

   Laws differ across states and countries; you must determine which rules apply and reconcile conflicts.

   For example: “A contract involves performance in California, data storage in Ireland, and governing law in Delaware. A data privacy obligation references 'applicable law.' How do you research and explain which regimes actually control, and where do conflicts arise?”

3. 3.Legal research strategy

   You must know where to search and how to validate that your findings reflect current, controlling law.

   For example: “You're researching whether a recent state statute overrides older case law on the duty to mitigate damages. Describe your research steps and how you'd confirm the statute's effective date and application.”

4. 4.Drafting for clarity and consistency

   Ambiguous drafting creates disputes; your language must be precise yet accessible.

   For example: “You're editing a contract with two definitions of 'force majeure' - one broad, one narrow. You notice each appears in different sections. How do you identify the conflict, and what options would you propose to the client?”

5. 5.Explaining nuanced legal positions

   AI systems learn by example; your explanation must be detailed enough that the reasoning is transparent and reproducible.

   For example: “You assess whether a non-disparagement clause in an employment contract would survive a First Amendment challenge in court. Lay out the key cases, the factual distinctions, and your conclusion in a way that makes your reasoning verifiable.”

A task you may get

Review a 3-clause contract excerpt involving payment, confidentiality, and termination rights across two jurisdictions. Identify at least three risks or ambiguities, write a memo explaining each, and propose revised language with rationale.

How to prepare

• Gather 2-3 sample contracts from your practice area and note the patterns of ambiguity or risk you typically encounter
• Prepare an example of your best legal writing - a memo, opinion, or analysis that showcases clear thinking and clear communication
• Refresh your knowledge of one multi-state or multi-country regulatory framework relevant to your practice
• Practice explaining a complex legal principle (e.g., the rule against perpetuities, or doctrine of laches) in plain language suitable for non-lawyers
