    I completely agree! I was pleasantly surprised by how diverse Kennedys was. On my AC most candidates were black or other ethnic minorities, the trainees we met were diverse. Their senior positions are also filled with a diverse bunch, and same with GR, it is so good to see. I encourage anyone...

    Law firms & Diversity

    Personally, I think it would be interesting to see how law firms are tackling micro-aggressions in the workplace.

I think it is so important to work with a range of different people, you learn so much! As...

    KENNEDYS SQE TRAINING PROGRAMME

    Oooh how did yours go? Mine was okay, both of our connections kept cutting out which was annoying! But overall, it was a really nice interview (I think lol). Do you know when we are expected to hear back by?

    KENNEDYS SQE TRAINING PROGRAMME

    It was purely strengths-based! They were pretty straightforward questions, there were no commercial questions or anything like that. I think if you pass this interview, you get invited to a partner interview, which is where I suspect that the commercial/competency-based questions come up. Good...

    Taylor Wessing Application

    Hi, if you don't mind me adding to this thread, the TW application also asks: Inclusion is at the heart of everything we do. Why is inclusion important to you? (250 words max) I have found this question quite difficult as I am unsure what attributes they are trying to extract from me...
