Using AI in Applications

The firm embraces responsible use of technology, including AI, across our work. Therefore, we ask that if you wish to use GenAI to support your application, you do so responsibly. Please remember that GenAI tools only have access to certain information and further research and verification on the points identified is encouraged. We also ask that you maintain a personal touch in your application, rather than using generic responses that are usually generated using GenAI tools. Throughout the application your answers should reflect your own work, abilities and experiences.

If you have any further queries, please visit our website where you can find FAQs and information on where you can meet us both virtually and in-person.
