What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?
Research the firm and get to know people from the firm from networking events at any given opportunity. Shoosmiths seem to attend many student networking events, such as law fairs, networking evenings and they even hosted a pub quiz with my university. Make sure the firms values and culture fits with your own. They appear to be a very modern and forward thinking firm, placing huge importance on relationships, both between themselves and clients, but also between employees. They come across as relaxed, whist still placing great emphasis on high quality work and advice. So the best advice I could give is to make sure that you feel you would fit within the culture of the firm whilst being yourself.
Do you have any interview tips?
Just be yourself and enjoy the experience. Shoosmiths takes on applicants from both law degrees and non-law degrees. The firm really does seem to stand by its core values, so if it is the right firm for you, this should be fairly obvious.
