Legal Counsel interview questions: the 8 to ask

Legal counsel protects the business: contracts, compliance, disputes and advice.

  1. 1.How do you rank clauses to negotiate in a contract?
  2. 2.How do you make law understandable for operational teams?
  3. 3.What are the key points of a GDPR data processing agreement?
  4. 4.How do you handle an emerging customer dispute?
  5. 5.How do you keep up with legal changes?
  6. 6.How do you say no to a sales team in a hurry?
  7. 7.Tell me about a tough negotiation.
  8. 8.How do you assess a project's legal risk?

Tip: for every answer, ask for a concrete example (situation, action, result). An answer without an example is worth half.
