The S&C Recruitment Process

S&C callbacks are not just an interview; they provide an opportunity for meaningful discussion of candidates’ professional aspirations and a chance for us all to learn more about each other.

This year, S&C callbacks will be offered in person in our offices with the option to interview virtually if needed. Students learn a great deal from their visits to the firm where they meet our people, walk our hallways, and see our facilities. If you need to interview virtually, we encourage you to consider an in-person second visit if you receive an offer and it is feasible for you to do so.

If you are extended a callback invitation, you will receive an email from the Legal Talent Office that will explain how to schedule your callback using our online appointment book. We strongly encourage you to schedule your interview promptly as we have a limited number of interview slots available each day. 

The evening before your callback, you will receive additional information about the day via email, including a list of the lawyers who you are scheduled to meet with.

Generally, candidates will have 14 days to respond to their offers, although you should feel free to request additional time to consider your offer if needed and we will work with you to come up with an acceptable timeline. Choosing the firm where you will begin your legal career is a very important decision and we want to make sure you have ample opportunity to consider your options. For that reason, we do not turn our offers of employment into “exploding offers.”

As noted above, we would be delighted to organize second visits for students who receive offers and would like to meet more of our lawyers. If you receive an offer, a member of the S&C recruiting team will be in touch with information about how to schedule a second visit or arrange other opportunities to learn more about the firm. You will also be invited to attend offer receptions where you can meet S&C partners, associates and summer associates, as well as other students with S&C offers.

If you have questions at any time throughout the recruiting process, please do not hesitate to contact one of the members of the S&C recruiting team. We are all here to help you along the way!
