Hey guys I got an invite for a Watson Glaser test. I did one last month so in preparing for it, I exhausted all the free online resources. I definitely wanna pay to get more practice. Anyone know the best links/test packages to buy?

Also, is anyone familiar with the Winston & Strawn process after sending an app? What are the next stages?

I love love loveeee the Assessment Day stuff as they give you tonnes of practice questions for £14.99 which is a lot cheaper than many providers. Gives you access for a year and lets you track your progress https://www.assessmentday.co.uk/buy/critical-thinking-buy.htm

I’m trying to understand the reasons why some firms with an otherwise large global presence don’t have any offices in the United States; is this a conscious decision, are there any barriers to entry, etc. - any insights would be much appreciated

Hi!

Good question. I think it depends on the firm’s overall business strategy. Some firms prefer to adopt a “best friends network” whereby they will liaise with local lawyers within the US to serve a client’s needs. One argument for doing this is that they are essentially teaming up with the best law firm within that jurisdiction and therefore it is likely the client will get the best advice possible. Opening up another office in a particular state could be good if there’s a strong case for serving a client need. But there’s also the notion of the existing competition between the other local firms. A firm’s overseas office may not necessarily be the best firm in that state to advise a client. These are just my insights on this so don’t take it as gospel.. I hope this helps!

Anyone heard from Birketts? It has passed the 48 hour mark they said they would aim to let us know by so would be interesting to hear if anyone has heard anything.
