Does anyone know what is involved in Bird & Bird's AC? They said details of the AC would be communicated but mine is next week & I haven't heard anything

literally just a 50 min interview and 50 min written task, there's QnA as well but that's not assessed

Anyone still not heard from Mayer Brown post-job simulation?

Has anyone heard from Greenberg Traurig? I know they say if you haven't heard by the 28th you have been unsuccessful but just wondering if anyone has heard back yet?

‘Considering the location in which you wish to train; tell us about a local project or development that has interested you. Explain why it is of interest and how, as a business, we could provide support.’

for a question with a 5000 character limit (around 800 words) i’m not sure if i’ll be able to get near filling the word count. Would that be detrimental?

Anyone eligible to start a TC this year - L&W has just opened Direct TC for 2022 & 23

Do they recruit on a rolling basis? I can submit an application soon but might as well wait for the PGDL results that will be out in two weeks to include them...

non-rolling.

I have a small issue. I applied to Latham & Watkins direct TC and in the confirmation, it says that I’ve been assigned a behaviour test and that I should log back into the portal and complete it. But when I log back in, there’s nothing there. What do I do?

Just email grad rec and attach a screenshot of the portal.

I do not think so as long as you show your interest and knowledge of the firm.

Anyone know how long you have to wait after Stephenson Harwood written assessment to hear back?

Anyone know where to start when pitching a prospective client to a firm?

Some factors to consider:

- What are the firm's strengths or fast-growing practice areas?
- What industries might need more of that expertise in the jurisdictions the firm operates in?
- Are the client's major competitors already clients of the firm (if so, that might make working for them tricky in some instances)
- Apart from revenue, what other benefits could the client bring to the firm?
