Assessment process

Whether you studied law or another subject, you can apply for our training programme either via the vacation scheme or the direct route using this application form. You will then be sent a link to our online assessment, which you will have seven days to complete

There are three assessments:

  • a business case-study exercise, with a partner and a senior associate. You will discuss a series of commercial scenarios that you will have time to read and prepare notes on beforehand; 
  • an application interview with a partner. This is the only part of the day that is not application blind; and
  • a written exercise.

For the final session of the day, you get to meet and network with some trainees.
