I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Slateford (London, England) in Dec 2022
Interview
2 interviews. First interview was with the previous year's trainee and a member of counsel, this interview was general, based on my application and CV, some interesting commercial awareness type questions, felt more like a chat than an interview. Second interview was with the firm's owners and included more specific knowledge and scenario type questions around privacy/media/morals. Never heard back after the second interview, tried following up by email and telephone, but after a month of waiting I assumed I didn't get it.
