Arnall Golden Gregory LLP. follows the set of hiring criteria outlined below.
Arnall Golden conducts approximately eight to ten on-campus interviews at the main Georgia law schools and top law schools around the country. These are usually two-on-one interviews and the firm has "specific high grade cutoffs." After interviewing on campus, the firm arranges for a limited number of callback interviews. Compared to other law firms of equal size, Arnall has a relatively small summer class with approximately 12 to 15 students. "This is an intentional effort on the part of the firm to hire according to projected needs (meaning that just about everyone is usually given an offer), and also to ensure that summer associates have a valuable and rewarding summer experience," according to one insider. Callback interviews begin with dinner the night before with two attorneys. The dinner is a "social meeting, not a high stress interview." The following day, interviews generally last from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., including lunch with the attorneys. The interviews typically focus on an applicant's interests and capabilities and are no: anxiety-provoking ordeals focused on substantive legal questions. The firm is looking for candidates who are "not only exemplary students, but are also interesting people." Arnall Golden does not have a reputation as a "frat" firm or a "stuff shirt" firm. The firm looks to attract candidates who are "real" people, with a broad variety of interests rather than those with a "narrow work-only focus." One insider urged interviewees to "think about the kind o: life you want to lead and ask questions that will allow you to learn if it will be possible working here (e.g., weekends away from work; family; travel around the country for work; quick responsibility, etc.)," while a second contact advised candidates to "be yourself and be prepared (i.e., know something about our firm and don't come if you're not really interested)/ A final tip for the would-be-successful candidate from a well-placed insider: "college sports fans, particularly those who follow the ACC and the SEC, get remembered. 'I am not joking!'"
As is fitting for a firm with strong localities, pro bono work at Arnall Golden is "encouraged and made accessible. "Attorneys at the firm do a wide variety of pro bono work for various groups, including the Atlanta Press Club, the Saturday Lawyers Program and Atlanta Legal Aid. In addition, the firm is working with the Atlanta Volunteer Lawyer Foundation to establish a program where Arnall Golden lawyers represent victims of domestic violence. The firm has a pro bono committee and pro bono hours (normally up to 50) are billable. "In my first year with the firm, I served as a Guardian Ad Litem in a custody battle. I spent over 100 hours on this pro bono matter. Not only did the firm not complain about the time I spent, but the managing partner publicly applauded my efforts to the management committee," one insider declared.
Thank you.
