Don’t
think
interviews
give you
enough time
to shine?
We agree. That’s why we’ve scrapped them. Instead we now recruit all
our trainees through our vacation scheme: a two-week “interview”
in which you actually get to do the job, and we get to know
you. You’ll sit in two different practice areas, and team up
with partners and current trainees alike. But best of
all you’ll be given your first chance to shape
something: your future.
