Law firms & Diversity
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...- TT98

Law firms & Diversity
Personally, I think it would be interesting to see how law firms are tackling micro-aggressions in the workplace. I have been faced with some racist and discriminatory comments (both do with my race and gender) but never felt I could report these small comments because they ‘were just said in a...- TT98

I think it is so important to work with a range of different people, you learn so much! As...- TT98

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...- TT98
