    When was your Freeths interview?

    April 2018

    What was it for?


    Training Contract

    Please describe the interview process at Addleshaw Goddard.

    The interview was largely dominated by competency questions, so I was concerned that I was repeating myself. However, the interviewer was very good, and was incredibly understanding throughout the process. They will ask you competency questions, but they by no means take an artificial approach to studying your answers.

    What advice would you give to future applicants for the Addleshaw Goddard interview?

    I was asked about my motivations to join a regional firm, as well as who Freeths' competitors are and how it differentiates itself. I was also asked about a current news story that was of interest to me and the commercial opportunities or threats that might stem from it.
