I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Hughes Paddison Solicitors in Nov 2022
Interview
Firstly Application form and then an interview with two partners. The interview was very relaxed and friendly. This was followed by an application day which involved three tasks. A client letter writing exercise, a group exercise and then an interviewing exercise. Prior to the final interview, a research task was allocated which involved research a current issue and writing a memo to a supervisor. The final interview was with the equity partners and this involved legal questions, competency questions and personal questions. At the start of the interview the firm also required a presentation about you.
