Law firm interview prep with lawyers who got the offer
Law firm interviews look at how you think, how you write and whether you understand the firm's business. Depending on the role you may face a critical thinking test, a written exercise, a case study and a partner interview. Practising with a lawyer who passed shows you what good looks like.

Law interview questions people ask
How do I show commercial awareness?
Follow a few business stories closely and think about what they mean for the firm's clients. In the interview, explain the issue simply and give your own view.
Should I practise the written exercise?
Yes. Time yourself and ask someone experienced to read it. Clear structure and plain language score well.
