Now That You’ve Gotten That Interview...

Now that you’ve gotten that interview, congratulations. You are already halfway there. Getting to the interview stage means your application stood out and caught someone’s attention. But now, it is time to do the real work.The interview is where your story meets your voice. This is where you get to prove that everything they read about you on paper is real. The first thing you should do is research. Look for information about that kind of interview. Find people who have done similar interviews, whether for the same company or for similar roles in other organisations. Learn from their experiences and try to understand the kind of questions that are usually asked.If the company has given you information on what to prepare for, stick to that and build around it. But if not, find the closest match online or from people in your network. This gives you a sense of direction.Go further and prepare for other possible questions. Write out sample questions and structure your answers around them. However, do not over-rehearse. Be flexible enough to pivot when a question catches you off guard. If you have prepared well, you can adapt your existing ideas to fit new questions.Remember that first impressions matter. When they say, “Tell us about yourself,” or any other opening question, that is your chance to set the tone. Prepare a solid answer that reflects your journey and shows that you are undoubtedly suitable for the role. Make it comprehensive yet natural.If a question catches you off guard, stay calm and composed. You do not have to know everything. Take a brief moment to think, say what you can, and move on confidently. Do not let one tough question throw you off balance. What matters most is how quickly you recover and maintain your confidence.Finally, keep in mind that an interview is not just a test of what you know but how well you communicate it.

How to Price Your Legal Services - What They Don’t Teach You in Law School.
Career Insight

How to Price Your Legal Services - What They Don’t Teach You in Law School.

One of the hardest things for many lawyers to learn is not drafting, litigation, or negotiation. It is pricing.Not necessarily because legal work is impossible to price, but because legal services are not products sitting on a supermarket shelf with fixed price tags. Every brief is different. Every client is different. Every instruction carries a different level of responsibility.So many lawyers struggle with one simple question: “How much should I charge?” You start wondering whether the fee is too high, too low, or whether the client will disappear the moment they hear the amount.But legal practice is still both a profession and a business, and learning how to properly price your services is part of building a sustainable career. Here are some practical things every lawyer should consider before quoting professional fees.Understand the Nature of the WorkThe first thing to consider before fixing a fee is the nature of the service itself. Not every legal task should be priced the same way. A simple tenancy agreement is different from a shareholders’ agreement. A routine filing is different from handling a regulatory investigation or a complex transaction.Even where two matters look similar on the surface, the level of thinking, risk assessment, negotiation, drafting, and responsibility involved may be completely different. Clients sometimes only see “a document” or “a court appearance,” but they do not always see the legal judgment behind every clause, review, or strategic decision.Your fee should reflect the actual value and responsibility attached to the work, not merely the physical output handed over at the end.Know the Market and Seek GuidanceFamiliarize yourself with applicable scales of charges and standard industry practices, as these can provide helpful benchmarks when determining professional fees. It also helps to know what lawyers within your practice area or location generally charge for similar services. There is nothing wrong with speaking to senior colleagues or mentors, especially when dealing with unfamiliar transactions or high-value matters. Sometimes a simple conversation can prevent you from drastically undercharging or overcharging for a service.However, this should not become blind copying. Your pricing may differ because your level of experience, speed, service quality, niche expertise, or availability is different. Cheap pricing is not always competitive pricing. In some cases, extremely low fees may even make clients question competence.Consider the Client and the CircumstancesPricing is not always rigid. There will be situations where you intentionally reduce your fees because the client is a friend, a referral, a startup business, or someone genuinely in need of help. There may also be matters you decide to handle completely pro bono because they align with a cause you care about or because you simply want to help someone access justice.On the other hand, there are situations where charging higher fees is justified. An urgent matter requiring immediate turnaround, a transaction involving significant value, or a client demanding constant availability may naturally attract higher professional fees because of the increased responsibility and pressure involved. There are also clients who can comfortably afford premium legal services and expect premium attention in return.The important thing is to be intentional. Discounts should be deliberate, not pressured. Higher fees should be justified, not exploitative.Create a Basic Pricing StructureOne practical thing that helps many lawyers is creating a basic pricing structure for recurring services.You do not always need to start calculating your fees from scratch every single time a client calls. Over time, it helps to have internal fee ranges for services you handle regularly, whether consultations, agreement drafting, company registrations, compliance filings, property transactions, advisory work, court processes, or retainership arrangements.This does not mean every matter must be priced identically. Some briefs will still require adjustments depending on urgency, complexity, risk, responsibility, or the client involved. However, having a structure makes pricing less emotional and more consistent.It also helps you communicate your fees with more confidence because you already have a working system instead of guessing under pressure.Confidence Matters: Stop Pricing From FearMany lawyers undercharge because they are afraid of losing the client. While that fear is understandable, constantly underpricing yourself eventually creates bigger problems. You become exhausted, overworked, resentful, and undervalued.Not every client is your client, and clients who genuinely understand the importance of quality legal services are usually willing to pay for competence, responsiveness, professionalism, and peace of mind. Sometimes the problem is not even the amount. It is how the fee is communicated. If you sound unsure, apologetic, or hesitant while quoting your fees, clients notice it immediately. You do not need to overexplain or defend your pricing aggressively. State your fees clearly and professionally. Confidence reassures clients that they are dealing with someone who understands the value of their service.At the end of the day, pricing legal services is part legal judgment and part business judgment. And like every other skill, it improves with experience.Allow Your Pricing to Grow With YouThe truth is, most lawyers learned pricing from experience, observation, mistakes, and guidance from others. Lawyers should not be afraid to revisit their pricing as they grow. The lawyer who charged a certain amount two years ago may now have significantly more experience, better drafting skills, stronger technical knowledge, improved systems, and greater professional value.Your pricing should reflect your growth. Remaining permanently attached to old fees out of fear can quietly damage the sustainability of your practice.Final ThoughtsAt the end of the day, pricing legal services is part legal judgment and part business judgment. It is a skill that improves with experience.You will probably undercharge sometimes. You may occasionally overestimate a brief. You will learn what clients value most, what works for your practice, and what pricing structure best reflects your services.But one thing every lawyer must remember is this: if you do not value your work properly, clients usually will not either.Written By: Abdulhafeez DamilareEdited By: Chimamanda Augustine
