Interview Travel Expense Policy

Womble Carlyle participates in over 18 different on-campus and job fair events. If after your initial screening the firm requests an in-house interview, we will schedule and pay for your flight and any additional transportation needs. The firm will reserve and pay for a hotel room for you, if needed, on a direct bill arrangement. One night’s stay is the maximum allowed by the firm. The firm will also cover reasonable expenses for your transportation to and from the airport, meals, tolls, and tips. The firm validates parking in all offices. The reimbursement rate for mileage incurred for an in-house interview is $0.485 per mile. Please submit the NALP Travel Reimbursement Form for any expenses incurred to the local recruiting manager. Copies of receipts must be included.

The firm does not reimburse for movie rentals, bar bills, personal phone calls or purchases, or child care. Unless travel arrangements are made by the recruiting manager, the firm does not cover rental car expenses.

Womble Carlyle does work with other firms in the area to share expenses for students interviewing with local firms. Please give your recruiting manager a list of the other firms in the area that you are interviewing with so they can coordinate the travel arrangements effectively.

With the permission of the recruiting manager, the firm will coordinate travel for a lateral candidate's spouse or significant other. These expenses will be billed to the candidate following the interview. Please contact the local recruiting manager to arrange for your transportation needs.
