Overall, it was intense and the case study interview was particularly time pressured. The interview day also included an office tour with a trainee so you have a chance to ask them, as well as your interviewers, questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Situational judgement questions, e.g. what would you do as a trainee/associate/partner if so and so happened?
Standard why the firm? Why law?
