Hi. Congratulations on getting through to the Vi. For my DWF VI I am preparing for the general sort of questions, and some commercial questions. Hope yours goes well, if you haven’t done it already

Well done to both of you!

This is my 2nd application cycle and 2nd VI stage (I did SQB last week). I think it would be really good to go through your previous research you did on the firm, any recent deals the firm has completed (would be really good if you could link a certain deal to your chosen office) and general commercial questions. Oh and definitely brush up on 'why commercial law?'


Good luck. You've got this!!

Hi all, I have a VI for DWF (direct TC route) and wondered if anyone at all could shed light on the kind of questions to expect?

Hi I received confirmation of completing a VI by next. Are the VI questions the same the second time round as they were the first? Thanks, I hope it all went well!

Does anyone have any idea what the previous VI questions are and the best way to prepare? Thanks

It has been a while since I did my DWF VI so my memories a little rusty

But I think it was 1:30 seconds of speaking / 30 seconds thinking time - I am not sure if it was 30 seconds or 1 minute thinking time (this could have all changed by now).

Focus on competency questions why DWF / why you / tell me when you demonstrated X type questions.

I remember they had one about diversity - why it is important to a law firm / why it is important to them.

I would also prep a news story - not sure if they asked it but just in case.

Also prep why is ESG important now - didnt get asked this but always good to have in the back pocket - link to insurance companies signing up to paris agreement and how it is important to DWFs clients etc.

Hope this helps - best of luck!
