Try a Hogan Lovells HireVue question
Hogan Lovells' video interview tests for the distinctive culture of a firm formed by the 2010 merger of Hogan & Hartson (Washington DC) and Lovells (London). As one of the most balanced transatlantic practices, their questions frequently probe US-UK commercial dynamics and cross-border regulatory awareness. HL's culture is consistently described as "friendly" and "collaborative" — and their video scoring explicitly tests for interpersonal warmth alongside competency. Overly formal, stiff deliveries often don't advance even when content is strong.
