I have been revamping our Interview Panel at the firm to give it a fresher feel, balanced by some experienced hands. Historically, Freshfields has been at the cutting edge of recruitment. We have been incredibly lucky having partners such as Guy Whalley, Tom Head and Ben Staveley, who have made it such a priority over the years.
For example, Guy was the reason why Tim Jones and I joined the firm, rather than any other in the magic circle. I remember Ben showing me round the office myself when he was a trainee and I was a student, nearly 30 years ago.
