It's pretty straightforward - if you know your why law, why weil, why you you'll get on just fine.

I had an AC yesterday but I know a few people have only just been invited to VI so there's probably loads more ACs to come

I really thought this would be the week I hear from the 5 firms I've done VIs for...1 PFO and that's it 😭

AC for Cleary Gottlieb - this is my first ever AC, any advice??? 😅

I did the AC for the Winter VS and was successful, and it was really enjoyable. I know that sounds strange to say for an AC, but it really was! Pay attention to detail for the technical interview to make sure you don't miss anything. Prepare your usual commercial law areas (M&A, contracts etc) The competency interview is very friendly and more a conversation about your journey so far based on what was in your cover letter. Do ask the associate and HR person in the interview some things about their work towards the end - for me, this "asking questions bit" wasn't forced at all because they were so friendly and open. For the group exercise, make sure to get your bit in but also encourage your teammates and make sure you demonstrate good collaborative ability.

Good luck! I hope it goes well for you
