Hi,

These are all I've found online, they are from a few years ago.
1) Tell us about a situation when you went above and beyond is a task.
2) As a trainee how would you deliver excellent customer service to clients?
3) How would you describe DWF to somebody (2:30 min!!!)
4) What does a job of a trainee solicitor involve?
5) Why do you want to work as a commercial solicitor?
6) Why do you want to work at DWF?

If you have completed yours already. How long did you have to speak per questions & how many questions was it approx?

I haven't either - doing it tomorrow. I'm finding it difficult to prepare because with the generic questions like "why DWF" "why law", I am not sure whether we will get 1 minute or 3/4 minutes, which obviously makes a big difference on how we need to prepare

It will probably be 3 minutes because the total is 30 minutes

Those of you with interviews, may I ask which office you applied to and when you heard back? Still haven't heard a peep from them!
