That’s really encouraging!! Thank you for the advice. I have another interview today (not with a law firm) so I’ve had that to focus on too + the AC. I’ve started doing some research but podcasts are a really good idea Thanks so much!I felt similarly but I really think you just have to listen to your body. I was sick so I was forced not to work the 4 days before my AC which I thought was the end of my chances but I ended up getting it. Rest is really underrated but it really helps clear your mind. If you can, I'd say focus on two core things, keeping up your commercial awareness (podcasts are great if you dont want to read) and knowing your story/experiences so you can answer why law, why the firm (firm research is what I focused on so competitors, a case or two I am interested in and what makes them unique) and why you! The rest is really just luck and thinking on your feet which only becomes harder if you are burnt out Best of luck with the AC!

Hi! Is anyone still waiting for V&E Post app? Seems most people have received a VI request so I think I might have been rejected without being informed.

Like you my career has been mainly focused on litigation so far. The way I (tried to) demonstrate interest in corporate was by trying to get a bigger picture understanding. For example, clients I had in litigation may have had issues stemming from their corporate practice. Or the litigation I was doing might influence the way they decide to structure themselves moving forward, or other related decisions they might take. I’d then tie it back by saying something along the lines of “having been briefly exposed to X challenge on the corporate side, I’d be keen to build on and improve my understanding of Y (fill in relevant corporate/transactional activity)”. I hope that makes sense! With your experience also doing workshops I’d use that to draw out specific examples of how that gave you a more holistic appreciation of the other team’s work and your client’s needs.Can I have your advice on how to show my interest/fascination with the corporate work.
My career has been mainly focused on litigation work but as we know during a tc you may experience different seats.
Over the last few months I have completed free courses and law firms lead workshops on M&A and PE. How do I include these experiences in my application? This is particularly tricky when answering why this firm.
What do you mean by important assessments?If my employment changes or I sit important assessments between now and my vac scheme in the summer, is this information I am expected to share with the grad recruitment team of the firm?
