First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at CMS Legal.
Trainee
The assessment day was super friendly but moved really fast. I had a chat with 1 partner and 1 associate, and it was mostly situational judgement questions. They left me with 10 minutes at the end to ask them questions.
- Could you elaborate on your motivation for pursuing a career in law?
- What specifically about CMS interests you?
- What are your thoughts on legal technology?
Intern
Interview for an internship in the real estate department at CMS LAW in Monaco. The HR person was nice, but the lawyer in charge was quite unpleasant. She seemed judgmental about my background.
No confirmed questions were included in this interview report.
CA Articleship
The whole process was great because they communicated really well. We always knew what was happening and they answered any questions we had quickly. The updates kept everyone informed and made things work smoothly. Their good communication made it an easy and good experience.
- Could you introduce yourself?
- Do you have any interests outside of your studies?
- Which subject or module did you like the most during school?
Solicitor Apprentice
I remember having motivational, competency and situational questions but they may have changed it to include commercial questions this year you never know. For prep I would say prepare early for questions you know are likely to come up in most VIs such as why cms why apprenticeship tell me a time when … etc. Don’t write a script, just have a rough idea about what you would say for certain questions maybe in bullet point form/blurting.
- Can you share an instance where you were given incomplete information for a task and were still required to produce an outcome? What steps did you take to resolve it?
- Could you describe a situation where you exhibited integrity?
