Hi Laura,
I don't think many candidates are familiar with that firm (hence the lack of responses!). I can only provide some general comments, which you may have seen before:
Video interview tips:
- Most candidates struggle with the VI because they find the format so uncomfortable.
- Practice doing a video interview as many times as you can (in other words, set your webcam up, time yourself and give yourself a set time to and record your answer). Watch it back: do you project your voice? Are your answers clear? How are your gestures?
- Look at the webcam rather than the screen (you come across more personable).
- Prepare for the standard questions (“why this firm?” or “why commercial law”), although increasingly we’ve seen harder questions come up in VI’s, so practice a variety of questions. The key is to stay composed when you're answering questions outside your comfort zone.
- Keep your answers concise. Use examples to back up your points. Be specific. Breathe.
- Smile: you want to try to get across your personality/enthusiasm.

Hi, I'm aware that this thread is from 2019 but if you have any tips on the video interview that would be much appreciated!
