I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Quinn Emanuel

Multiple rounds with between 6 and 7 partners total. Various fairly technical questions along with the usual "why here". First round with two partners, second round with four or five.

Question 1
What is the effect of an entire agreement clause on any possible implied terms?
I applied through university. I interviewed at Quinn Emanuel (New York, NY) in Jan 2026
Interview
Seamless process but absolutely humorless people. They did not care that i existed and did not have any questions for me. Seemed like a bad conversation I had to hold on my back
The interview followed the usual structure: introductions, a short discussion of my background, and questions about my interest in the firm. One interviewer had to leave unexpectedly, which meant the session concluded well before the allotted time. Although the questions were standard, the early finish made the overall process feel a little disjointed.

Q: Why are you interested in joining Quinn Emanuel, and how do you see your experience fitting with the team’s work?
Q: What attracts you to this firm’s approach to disputes, and how would you contribute to it?
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Quinn Emanuel (New York, NY) in Mar 2024
Interview
Standard big law post-clerkship; no surprising questions. But be introduced to introduce yourself as it appeared people had not reviewed my resume before and prepare a few questions ready for them.
