Psychometric testing and solicitors – a good idea?
We regularly come across employers using psychometric testing, basic literacy tests or maths tests for their prospective candidates, who can for example be 10-30 year PQE solicitors. After all, psychometric tests can filter out poor candidates fairly quickly and decisions can be made on weaker candidates who otherwise may not have been picked up as being lacking in certain characteristics.

Which is more important – deal structure or valuation? Type of Business – Law or Accountancy
Most businesses have a value to someone somewhere, but the answer to this question depends very much on the type of business you are.
