I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Wilkin Chapman Rollits (Lincoln, England) in Mar 2025
Interview
The assessment day started with a case study exercise, which involved examining a fact pattern of a prospective client’s case and preparing answers to the questions provided to present later in the partner interview - 30 minutes was given to do this. The interview then started with settling in questions related to the initial written application, then centred around the case study exercise, and then finished with a discussion of a current legal development.

It was informal and felt very easy going. They were welcoming and made sure I wasn’t nervous. I would recommend the firm for anyone who is nervous at interviews as they were friendly and asked questions surrounding hobbies

I felt the overall interview was negative and did not focus on my skills and experience for the role. The focus was around my commitment to the role and why I had done contract work.
