Interview tips…


Questions, questions, questions. The interviewer will hope that you will ask a question or two, so make sure you are prepared. If your questions have already been answered, ask the interviewer why they chose the firm, what do they enjoy most about it, and what qualities/skills do they look for in a trainee in their specific department.


Nerves. Think before you answer questions, don’t be tempted to rush in.


Don’t be afraid of a brief period of silence and always let the interviewer finish speaking before you start.


Take a sip of water if your nerves get the better of you and you need a moment — that should buy you a couple of seconds to compose yourself.


If necessary, write down your thoughts before you verbalise them. If you are being asked a difficult technical question, let the interviewer know you want to think about it.


Vacation schemes and Open Days


VACATION SCHEMES


We run two-week vacation schemes each summer and take up to 15 students. You spend each week in a different department, sharing an office with qualified lawyers, and sharing their work. The aim is for you to experience the work we do and the way we do it. You participate in deals and attend meetings with clients, working side-by-side with our lawyers. To help you get to know our trainees in a social setting, we also organise events to facilitate opportunities for further learning and questions.


OPEN DAYS


We run two open days, each in June. They provide an excellent insight into the London office. The open days start at 10am and finish by 3pm and include: - Partner presentation about the firm


- Group exercise - Written exercise - Opportunity to meet with our trainees and recruitment team
