Advice needed

In our latest Career Conundrum, an aspiring solicitor has been invited to a training contract assessment centre, but needs advice on what to ask their interviewers.

“Hi Legal Cheek, I have an assessment centre coming up which involves an interview with two senior lawyers from the firm. I know I should prepare some questions to ask them at the end of the interview but I’m really struggling. I want to seem well-informed but not too intense/pushy and I definitely don’t want to be too personal. Am I meant to ask them about law? About the firm? About their careers? Help!”
