Applications Written for One Firm, Not Every Firm

Paste your answer to “Why this firm?” and Moot shows which lines only fit that firm, and which could be about any of them. It never writes the answer for you.

Why do you want to train at [Firm]?

I want to train at [Firm] because of its global reach and prestigious clients. I was drawn to the two-year rotation through four practice groups, and a trainee told me how early they were given client contact.

Online Tests

Online Tests You’ve Already Practised

Watson Glaser-style tests against the clock, plus Cappfinity-style critical reasoning, numerical reasoning and verbal reasoning, in the real format. After every answer, you’ll know exactly what to fix, and you can ask why.

In 2025, a City law firm moved its first-round interviews online. The next year, the share of its applications from outside London rose from 31% to 52%, while the total number of applications stayed about the same.

Moving interviews online made the firm more appealing to applicants outside London.

Interviews

Rehearse Every Interview with Moot First

Type your answer. Moot plays the interviewer, pushes back where a partner would, and shows you what to tighten before the real thing.

Practice Interview, Question 3 of 5

Why commercial law, and not another area?

“Last summer a supplier tried to change the terms of my family’s restaurant contract mid-year. Reading it with our solicitor, I realised the deal was won or lost on two clauses…”

Moot, as the Interviewer

What would you have advised if those two clauses had favoured the supplier?

Type Your Answer
To Tighten

Strong, real example. End on what it taught you about commercial work, in one sentence.

From People Who Practised on Moot

Names withheld at their request. Each has a training contract at the firm shown and is now at law school.

Critical Thinking“Practising questions on its own isn’t enough. What Moot does well is show you the reasoning behind each answer and the patterns in your mistakes. That’s what makes your preparation focused.”
Future TraineeFreshfields
Application Quality“The firm-specific feedback is the part I’d have wanted most. It pushes you past generic answers to say why this firm: its work, its clients and its culture.”
Future TraineeLinklaters
Assessment Preparation“Realistic timed tests make a real difference. You practise under pressure, see exactly where you’re losing marks and work on that, instead of just redoing questions.”
Future TraineeKirkland & Ellis
Interview Preparation“The interview practice doesn’t let you get away with memorised answers. The follow-ups make you think on your feet and explain your reasoning clearly, which is exactly what the real thing asks of you.”
Future TraineeSlaughter and May
Preparation Strategy“When I applied, I was juggling several firms with different tests and deadlines. Having the deadlines, the test formats and the right practice in one place makes all of that far more manageable.”
Future TraineeHogan Lovells
Reasoning Skills“The explanations stand out. It doesn’t just tell you right or wrong. It walks you through the logic, so your approach actually improves.”
Future TraineeJones Day
Written Applications“Getting your commercial awareness across in an application answer is hard. The feedback makes your points more specific, better structured and relevant to the firm.”
Future TraineePinsent Masons
Confidence“Applying to several firms at once is overwhelming. Moot gives the whole process a structure, so you go into each stage with more confidence.”
Future TraineeMishcon de Reya
Overall Preparation“My preparation was spread across different sites, documents and practice packs. Moot puts it all in one place and tells you what to work on next. I wish I’d had it.”
Future TraineeHSF Kramer

FAQs

What people ask before they start.

No. It’s independent practice in the same format. The real test is Pearson’s, and Moot isn’t affiliated with Pearson or any law firm.
