What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

I would advise candidates to really think about why they want to apply to Reed Smith and what Reed Smith has to offer. For instance we started a new Law and Business Masters which you complete at the same time as the LPC.

We do a huge amount of pro bono and interesting volunteer work that differentiates us from some of our competitors.

There are a large number of secondments - to international offices and clients.

All work experience is important, especially bar work/waitressing - it's great to demonstrate working in the service industry.

Do you have any interview tips?

Reed Smith have moved to a new Strengths Based Interview - I was one of the guinea pigs to test how it works and I think it's great. It's much less about what you've done or what skills you have but more about what would you do in a particular situation. It's great as it puts everyone on an equal footing and it doesn't matter what opportunities you've had in the past.
