2025
There were no typical application questions. Just:
Online assessment
This was a non-time-limited online assessment. From what I can remember, there were three types of questions within the assessment:
The personality based and verbal reasoning questions were pretty standard and what you would expect in most other law firm online assessments. From what I can remember, the verbal reasoning questions were in a similar format to the Watson Glazer.
The numerical reasoning questions were a bit unexpected and definitely something to watch out for. There were quite a few of these and they all focussed on analysing data in various forms (e.g. graphs, tables, etc.) and drawing conclusions from this data. I would advise doing some revision on percentages.
You are given five hours to complete the online assessment which is plenty of time; I finished it in around an hour. As mentioned above, it makes no difference how fast you answer the questions - the five hours is simply a cut-off time.
The online assessment was fairly straightforward. I would recommend doing some Watson Glaser prep as the questions that came up were not too dissimilar from the Watson Glaser test. Additionally, a bit of revision on percentages would probably help with the numerical reasoning questions.
Job simulation
A week after I had completed the online assessment, I received an email telling me I had progressed to the next stage and a link to complete an online Job Simulation. From what I can remember, the Job Simulation consisted of three different questions types, divided into different sections.
These were:
The situational judgment questions involved presenting a workplace scenario and asking you how you would respond to this. These questions were fairly standard.
From what I remember about the motivational questions, there were two.
From what I can remember about the written response question:
Concerning the Job Simulation, I would recommend preparing answers to ’why Deloitte Legal?’ and ‘why commercial law?’. But as is the case with every video interview don’t just simply recite prepared answers word for word. Some revision regarding percentages would also probably help here, especially for the written response question.
I passed both of these stages and was invited to a final interview.
