litigation it is!Guys what happens if a dispute doesn't settle after you've exhausted all forms of alternative dispute resolution?? Do you then go through litigation?

in my AC they asked this and I only roughly mentioned what practice areas were (probably) involved, and then spent more time talking about the impacts of that deal - potential challenges, opportunities and competition in the industry. I also linked the deal to a recent case I read from FT just to say how and where it was situated in the economy. I know many ppl focus on what role the firm plays in the case instead - so this was just my approach!How can I prepare for a 'tell us about a recent deal' interview question? The firm doesn't have a huge amount of detail on its website.
Thank you for this, I wanted to comment something along these lines but couldn't conjure a delicate way to put it.**Trigger warning - very strong opinion below**
I personally find this really annoying and also somewhat pretentious (sorry those who do this ). I find it a really toxic community culture trait born out of how competitive the market is and people constantly trying to show they are better than the next person. It doesn't serve any purpose but to inflate egos.
Congratulations! A bit poor of them to not let the rest of us off the hook if they know they're maxed out.Got a call from DLA Piper offering me an AC in Leeds as London is now full!

Congratulations! Can I ask when you heard back and when you took the WG test?yes! AC invite for feb!
Could be either to be honest. Usually depends on whether the firm will assess as each candidate completes their assessment or whether they wait for all candidates to complete the assessment.For a WG, will there be a pre-set test group or does it change after everyone has done the test?

You could discuss any of those points - I suspect how much you talk about them will depend on the jurisdiction identified. For some, the issues will be more political, while with the next jurisdiction it may be down to the legal market.how do you structure a "what difficulties may arise when operating in jurisdiction X" question? do you speak of more political, economic or legal events happening there?
