Tell me your favorite story or experience working at Lewis Group.
Since I am still relatively new to the Firm, my favorite story would probably be my interview. They asked about my travel itinerary, and I mentioned that I will be doing a “Harry Potter pilgrimage” in Japan, and everyone was excited. Turns out, we are all Potterhead in the call. We even share which houses we belong.

How did you start working for Lewis Group?
A recruiter reached out for an interview and I agreed. Upon entering the call, I know I am surrounded by good people. My family heard my laughs then, and they were surprised that it was an interview. They thought I was casually talking to my friends. After that, I looked forward to hearing from the team. Then, I’m here typing this with a smile.
