Application Process & Interviews at Clyde & Co

Interviews were great. Not rigid and free flowing. There were no assessments.

Couple of interviews

There was an initial application, then a phone call, followed by two interviews.

My application process involved a range of written response questions (which related to things such as my experience and interests) and I did two interviews (each with a senior lawyer and HR professional).

Make sure you are familiar with the work that the firm does. It is also important to communicate that you are keen to learn as much as possible and give it your all.
