About Mentis
Better prepared.
Better understood.
I started Mentis with a simple belief: the best way to prepare for an interview is to practise having one.
For junior lawyers in particular, preparing for an interview can involve considerable uncertainty. What questions should you expect? What does a prospective employer want to understand about your experience? And how do you know whether your answers are good?
These questions don’t necessarily disappear as you become more experienced. The expectations simply change.
Preparation often involves researching the firm, revisiting your experience, anticipating questions and considering how best to present yourself. But there’s a difference between preparing what you want to say and putting that preparation into practice.
Without the opportunity to practise and receive feedback, it can be difficult to know how effectively your preparation translates into an actual interview, or where you could improve.
I believe there’s a better way to prepare.
“Knowing your experience is one thing. Communicating it is another.”
Why I built Mentis
I wanted to make interview practice more accessible across the legal profession.
When preparing for my own legal interviews, I spent hours researching, studying and anticipating questions. But I came to realise that much of my preparation focused on what I needed to know, rather than practising the interview itself.
You can spend hours learning what to say, without spending nearly enough time practising how to say it.
That experience stayed with me. I began thinking about how much more valuable interview preparation could be if candidates had easier access to personalised interview practice - the opportunity to answer questions, think on their feet and receive meaningful feedback on where they could improve.
The goal isn’t to memorise answers, but to become better at answering.
That’s why I started Mentis.
As interviews evolve,
so should preparation.
AI is changing the way organisations recruit, including how candidates are assessed and interviewed. As these technologies continue to develop, I believe they also create new opportunities to improve how candidates prepare.
AI now makes personalised, conversational interview practice more accessible, allowing candidates to practise answering questions and receive meaningful feedback before their actual interview.
Not to replace traditional preparation, but to complement it. To give candidates the opportunity to practise communicating their experience, demonstrate their judgement and develop the confidence to do both when it matters.
Our philosophy
We believe in learning by doing.
Interview preparation is most effective when it’s active, reflective and personal. Mentis gives candidates the opportunity to practise, get clear feedback and develop the skills to communicate their experience with confidence.

Develop your answers through conversation, not memorisation.
Learn from feedback.
Understand what’s working, what to improve and how to strengthen your answers.
Communicate with confidence.
Practise articulating your experience, your judgement and what you bring to a role.
