Likely interview questions for this role

Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

About your past

Tell me about a time you told a senior business leader no. How did you get to a workable alternative?

What they are checking: Being a business partner who still holds a legal line.

How do you keep up with changes in law and policy that affect pricing and access?

What they are checking: Whether they have steady habits for tracking pricing and access law, since this area changes often and stale advice causes harm.

What would you do

The Market Access team wants an answer by tomorrow on a deal structure that has some risk. How do you respond?

What they are checking: Whether they give useful, risk-weighted answers on a business timeline, since in-house counsel must help deals move without ignoring real risk.

How would you explain a complicated legal risk to senior management in a few minutes?

What they are checking: Whether they can explain legal risk briefly and clearly to executives, who need a decision-ready view rather than a memo.

About the work

Walk me through how you would analyze a proposed rebate arrangement with a PBM under the Anti-Kickback Statute.

What they are checking: Whether they can apply the Anti-Kickback Statute to real pricing deals, because rebate arrangements with PBMs carry serious legal and financial risk.

How does the Inflation Reduction Act affect payer contracting and pricing decisions for a company like AbbVie?

What they are checking: Current knowledge of IRA drug pricing provisions and their downstream effects.

Where does False Claims Act risk show up in market access and pricing work?

What they are checking: Whether they understand where government price reporting creates False Claims Act exposure, since mistakes there can lead to major penalties.

How do you use OIG advisory opinions when advising the business on a new program?

What they are checking: Whether they can use OIG guidance to give practical advice, because the business needs clear direction on programs, not just citations.

What competition law issues come up in trade and distribution agreements?

What they are checking: Whether they recognize competition law risks in trade contracts, because pharma distribution deals can draw antitrust scrutiny if handled carelessly.

Walk me through how you approach negotiating a complex payer agreement. What terms do you watch most closely?

What they are checking: Whether they know where the real risk sits in payer contracts and negotiate it well, which protects the company over many years.
