Interviews

Following a preliminary assessment of the applicants’ cover letters and curricula vitae, the applicants who are identified to move on to the second stage of our process will be required to undertake a timed, written assessment aimed at gauging their suitability for the Pupillage programme.

Subsequently, the firm shall conduct round(s) of face-to-face interviews with short-listed applicants.

Please note that due to the volume of applications that the firm receives and considers, only short-listed applicants will be contacted as they progress through the interview process.
