Macfarlanes has extended its CV blind interview process to include training contract applications to the firm this year.
The process, in which the applicant is assessed on a series of scenarios by a panel of partners who have no information on their background except their name, is intended to encourage social diversity in the profession by putting candidates who attended lower ranked universities on a level playing field with those from more elite institutions.
The firm has already used the technique for its most recent round of vacation scheme applicants.
