I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Freemans Solicitors (Holborn, England) in June 2025
Interview
It was an average experience and not overly difficult however some questions did seem overly general and not relevant. The job description also did not include the salary and the firm does not pay for the sqe or have any opportunities to grow within the firm.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Freemans Solicitors (London, England) in June 2022
Interview
Invited to a single online interview with crime team, partner was present. Result came out shortly after. Friendly team, and very genuine interview, interested in what I was like as a person. There was also a written test (like a essay topic question), and I was asked about what I had written during the interview.
