Hi both,
I did the video interview last year for the Bristol vac scheme. I can’t recall all the questions but they will most certainly ask you “Why S&S?”. They also asked me why S&S in Bristol specifically - so they might ask you why you want to work in a city law firm.
I think there was also a question on teamwork and a commercial question which I believe was roughly phrased “talk about a recent commercial issue that you’ve read about”.
Apologies I can’t be more specific, but good luck!
