I applied online. I interviewed at Latham & Watkins (London, England) in Feb 2018
Interview
Average interview, although the partners did enjoy grilling me. One partner was clearly playing 'bad cop' and was trying to through me of the tracks. Questions focused on commercial awareness and an understanding of the firm's strategy. Also had some competency based questions.

Simple process online app - video interview - competency - case study - written exercise
Case study wasn’t very technical - a charity acquisition
Competency was very basic - why you - why the firm - integrity - resilience
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Latham & Watkins (London, England) in Feb 2026
Interview
3 parts - written case study, case study interview on that case study and finally partner interview
partner interview is pretty chill, but because of that you have to make sure that you make clear your reasons for the firm/law etc. as convo can move on quite quick
written case study make sure not to give unsubstantiated advice/ take things a bit further
case study presentation just be confident
face to face interview with a panel of lawyers and HR. very conversational interview, they just want to learn more about you, your interests, your attributes/skills, such as leadership and critical thinking.
