You Should Not Dabble: To Succeed It’s All or Nothing
5 Star Rating
Peabody & Arnold LLP follows the set of hiring criteria outlined below.
Peabody & Arnold hires associates from a wide variety of backgrounds and with diverse interests, primarily from top-tier law schools. On-campus interviews are generally one-on-one; callback interviews consist of twenty-minute sessions with various members of the hiring committee (a mix of partners and associates). The interviews are very casual, targeted towards seeing if "your personality matches with the firm." Peabody & Arnold looks for applicants with outstanding academic credentials but, "more importantly, with poise and interesting things to say." Demonstrating a specific interest in Peabody & Arnold, by doing some prior research on the firm for example, is an important plus for interview purposes. One contact observed that "if a candidate is applying to work at Peabody & Arnold along with every other firm in the city, there is a perception that you are not genuinely interested in P&A. Given our firm's culture, an applicant strongly pursuing Goodwin or Ropes would have some explaining to do to convince us that he or she is also strongly interested in us." Interviewees are advised to "not try to anticipate questions, and do not come prepared with canned answers. Just be honest, genuine, and let us learn about you by acting like yourself. A good applicant, and a good lawyer, can think on his or her feet and provide an intelligent answer to an unexpected question."
Peabody & Arnold has a pro bono committee, headed by two partners. Although hours spent on pro bono work are not counted towards an associate's billable total, the firm's unwritten policy is that those hours are "taken into account," we were told. The firm has a strong presence in Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, and many Peabody attorneys also do pro bono work for tax exempt organizations and bar associations.
Thank you.
