I applied online. I interviewed at Freshfields (Roma) in Jul 2023
Interview
The interview process has two steps. The first one is a technical interview with a partner and two counsels. The interview is both in English and Italian. The second one with another partner and it’s more about getting to know the candidate better.

Question 1
What’s an abuse of margin squeeze and what’s the legal test established in the case law
I met with all partners of the team (one interview was with several partners together, and one interview was with just one). They asked me about my previous experience and focused their questions on a particular case I handled.
