I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DLA Piper in Feb 2021
Interview
5-hour assessment centre. group presentation, individual presentation and partner interview.
Prior to this, WG test and HR phone interview.
Very difficult interview but enjoyable. They are not looking for the right answers but your thought process, whether you can think on your feet.
Top tip: don’t over rehearse your answer. be specific and do your research thoroughly.
