What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?
Do your research! Do not give a generic application because it will be obvious. Spend time researching the firm and seeing what people have to say about it to make sure this is what you want too.
Do you have any interview tips?
Don't be afraid to talk about yourself. The way our interviews work means the interviewer wants to learn about your skills - give lots of details, and all experience is relevant. This means as long as you can demonstrate transferable skills in whatever past jobs you had - you'll be good to go! It's a trainee role, they are not expecting you to be legal experts yet, they just want to know that you're making an informed decision.
