ABL is a premium Australian commercial law firm advising clients on their most important transactions, disputes and commercial decisions.
No formal assessments. One or two interviews and an informal coffee with a junior lawyer
Hired through seasonal clerkship program and priority graduate offer scheme. Clerkship application process involved cover letter, CV, transcript --> interview --> cocktail night --> offers.
Followed the seasonal clerk guidelines for interviews which was professional but also comfortable and interesting
I am a market graduate (not from the clerk intake) and so cannot speak for the clerkship experience. My interview process involved a two-stage interview. The first with HR, second with HR and two partners from the team I had expressed interest in. I had to complete a written exercise prior to the second interview (writing a memo to a partner applying certain principles of law/commerce to a factual scenario). No other assessments (e.g. psychometric). Following the second interview there was a coffee catch-up with a junior on the team.
