I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Dentons (London, England) in Jan 2020
Interview
First-round telephone interview + Assessment Centre + Final Interview at the end of the VS.
Assessment Centre - a written exercise, a presentation based on the same case study as the written exercise and an independent case study interview (which may involve some contract/property legal technicals for law students but they were basic stuff you should know from a law degree) with a panel of two partners. The two partners were really nice!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The first-round telephone interview was competency-based with the typical why commercial law, why dentons and tell me about a time when you demonstrated teamwork/overcome a challenge etc. Very predictable questions so they would expect you to be prepared (but not scripted ).
