Assessment Centre Success | The Proven Formula That Works

You’ve made it to the assessment centre. Now what?

This is where many strong candidates fall short, not because they’re unqualified, but because they don’t understand how to approach the day strategically. Join experienced legal graduate recruiter Lindsey for a behind-the-scenes look at what really matters during assessment centres, and how to stand out for all the right reasons.

With over seven years at Herbert Smith Freehills and a wealth of experience consulting for top international firms, Lindsey has seen exactly what makes candidates succeed (and fail) in these high-pressure environments.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• What law firms are genuinely assessing and what’s just noise

• How to navigate group exercises, case studies, and interviews with confidence

• The mindset that top performers bring to the day

• Common mistakes smart candidates make and how to avoid them

• How to demonstrate leadership, collaboration, and commercial awareness naturally

• The subtle cues recruiters pick up on when deciding who gets the offer

Plus, stick around for a live Q&A to get tailored advice for your upcoming assessment centre.

If you’ve ever wished someone would just tell you the rules of the game, this is that session.
