Herbert Smith Freehills interview questions

You have to fill out the form. Eligibility Personal info Secondary education 6th form/post-16 -- does not include university degrees work experience contextual information supporting questions - Interesting topic + why interesting to you, why interested in the apprenticeship and specifically hsfk, what skills/attributes you have that are beneficial and examples If you pass that stage you get a Situational Judgement Test and a personality test. The SJT is videos of example situations and you have to choose most effective and least effective. The personality test you have to order some traits in most descriptive of you to least - these were tricky as you could only pick one rating for each and some of them weren't even compatable to the point where if you're one you won't be the other. Personally I found it difficult as some of the options were same level of descriptive or less descriptive than what I wanted to put.

1. case study exercise & interview - reading through a case and contracts for 40 mins, then had to roleplay as the lawyer advising the client on their situation (the client being the interviewer) 2. competency based interview - just a normal competency based interview, also with motivational questions about HSF 3. partner & their speciality practice area interview - this contained some technical questions but was more to test your ability to problem solve and think on the spot
