I applied online. I interviewed at Simmons & Simmons (Bristol, England)

Logical reasoning and verbal reasoning assessment that was followed by some video interview questions. Around 5 questions of basic fit and competency that is expected for any video interview. Prepare why law, why the firm, what's going on in the legal world etc.
Initial stage is a written application involving basic motivational questions. Followed by a skills competency test. The AC was all online, three different tasks, all individual. Ran seamlessly. Completed AC but haven't heard an outcome over 2 months later.

Friendly interview, not to technical but the inbox exercise was the hardest element of the AC. HR talk you through this and support you throughout the day. This took place online and was around 6 hours.
