BCLP Application Process

Find out how BCLP approaches its application process, step-by-step.

Stage one

If you are interested in a career at BCLP, you can apply directly for a training contract or for a vacation scheme. The first step is to complete an online application form, which asks you questions about why you want to work at the firm, what skills you have that make you a good lawyer and questions that assess your commercial awareness.

Stage two

The next step is to complete an online test, which is specific to BCLP and based on the skills that solicitors need. You won’t be able to prepare for it as it’s scenario-based and specific to the firm, but you should take your time and reflect on the questions while completing the test.

Stage three

Successful candidates will then have a virtual strengths-based interview with two Associates.

Stage four

The final stage is an assessment centre, which will involve a case study and presentation exercise, and a final stage strengths-based interview. You’ll have 90 minutes to create a 15-minute presentation based on a candidate brief given to you, then a Q&A session based on your answers. Following this, you will have your final stage interview with two Partners.
