- Panel interview with graduate recruitment.
- The partners were lovely and very honest about their experiences and areas of practice.
- I would say commercial awareness is important but be prepared to back up or debate any points you raise.

Interview
The Interviewers were unfriendly and rigid. One of them intentionally spent the whole hour looking at his laptop and ignoring us with the exception of a few technical questions which were very difficult and some right to work questions which had an unpleasant tone and assumption. The room was specifically set to be boiling hot to create an uncomfortable environment (in summer!!!) and it was hotter than the heatwave outside!
