Lots of moral and ethical questions. The partners were very standoffish in the final interview and cut me off at the end from asking questions, which is a shame given the reputation of the firm being 'friendly and approachable'.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Travers Smith (London, England) in Oct 2022
Interview
Three stages to the process following the initial online application. First was a virtual interview, then two written assessments over a few weeks, and finally an in-person interview and an office tour.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why law? Why the firm? How would your friends describe you? Why does our international approach work/suggestions as to why it might not? Situational questions like what would you include in an X employment contract? What would you suggest to a shareholder who wants more of a say in a company? Do you think fast fashion should be more sustainable?

Interview
Extremely difficult interview with lots of moral questions and counter questions. Intimate one on one setting with a partner that didn’t write anything down. Felt like a conversation more than an interview but very challenging nonetheless.
