Consisted of an interview with senior associate and graduate recruitment. there was also a group exercise and a written task. mixed range of people. some lawyers were very friendly, professional and intelligent. others seemed more informal, and not necessarily in a good way. graduate recruitment were not on top of things. the majority of the firm seemed to be lateral hires, including associates from high street firms.
