Q: In a job interview, what is the best way to learn about an organization’s titles and their hierarchy?

A: In my previous articles about titles, I discuss their evolution, importance and current relevance in today’s legal profession. Given their significance within an organization and the different levels of compensation, responsibility, deference, power and access, etc. tied to titles, it is important to know their value and place within each company when interviewing for a new position. This insight will give you context as to where the role you have applied for fits in the organization. It will also shed light on where you will sit in the legal department pecking order and the potential for growth.
