The work is challenging and enjoyable. I have met some awesome people while working at the firm, and would generally say that the culture is very good. This helps when you are working late, and may need help on certain aspects of your work.

Worst

Even though late night have been few and far between, they are never pleasant especially when you have to cancel plans at the last minute.

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

Research the firm thoroughly and the practice areas which make it stand out. This can be learning about clients, or understanding a few deals or big litigation matters that the firm has worked on recently.

Try to gain experience in these practice areas or, if not, think very carefully about how your current experience would translate to working at the firm.

Do you have any interview tips?

Review your application (you clearly did something right to get an interview!) and then also keep up to date with current affairs, in case they ask you any commercial awareness questions.

Try to know a few important deals the firm has been working on, as well as maybe one or two of the larger litigation matters they have been involved with.

Most importantly, however, be confident and charismatic. The firm is very big on personality and they often look to candidates who possess these personality traits.
