I applied online. I interviewed at Leigh Day & Co. (London, England)
Interview
It was a one stage process. Interview consisted of motivation and competency based questions. There was also a question re current developments in the practice area and how it may affect LD's clients. Interviewer was very friendly and made me feel at ease.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would your supervisor describe you in three words?
Very repetitive. No Motivation questions - strictly centred around your skills and what you can bring to the role. Prepare basic competency questions and you should be fine.
They will also ask you the same questions in different ways, so try to come up with something different. The role is very admin-heavy, and the interview itself will give you that gist.

Question 1
What skills should a paralegal have? What skills do you have that are relevant to the role? What can you bring to the role? Tell me about a time you worked in a team. etc, etc.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Leigh Day & Co. (London, England) in June 2025
Interview
During the interview I learnt more about the role, those I would be working with and the type of projects I would be involved in.
As 2 weeks had passed by I emailed the company to find out what is happening with my application and was ghosted. Even on the candidate website doesn’t say if I’m rejected or moving forward
