- AllAboutLaw's resident Legal Graduate Recruiter
Think you know how to prepare for law firm interviews? Think again.
Join us for an honest, practical session that goes beyond the generic advice you’ve read online. We’ll be joined by seasoned legal graduate recruiter Lindsey, who’s interviewed countless aspiring solicitors and knows exactly what firms really value, even if they don’t spell it out publicly.
Drawing on over seven years at Herbert Smith Freehills and consulting for leading international firms, Lindsey will lift the lid on what makes a great interview — and what quietly ruins your chances.
Whether you’re a law student or exploring law from another degree, this session will help you:
-
Understand the unwritten expectations interviewers have
-
Learn how to show commercial awareness without sounding scripted
-
Avoid the common interview clichés that recruiters hear every day
-
Communicate your motivation and personality in a compelling, authentic way
-
Handle unexpected or challenging questions with confidence
-
Leave a lasting impression... for the right reasons
Stick around for a live Q&A where you can ask Lindsey your own interview questions.
This is the kind of advice they don’t post on firm websites — but it might be what gets you hired.
