Well I did think that too, but then thought, surely people must have mentioned it to them so why haven't they amended it? That's when my conspiracy theories started haha. Well done on passing the app stage! I've got a pretty strong feeling I won't have passed any. 😩

I applied about two months back, so I'm kind of surprised that the mistakes are still there then! But yes, at the time I was definitely contemplating sending them an email!

Thank you! I feel like you will pass some, for sure - just need to make sure that you explain your mitigating circumstances well! (For the ones that I explained slightly better, I have had more success! And I'm hoping for an even better conversion of app to next stage for the firms that I have explained them to completely).

Do K&E send PFOs or just allow me to still dream

I think that they have only sent out ACs for their first assessment day.

If anyone wants help on the kirkland AC, I did it last year and am happy to provide guidance. PM me

Hey, please would you be able to detail the structure of what happens during the day?

 

[Phoebe123451]

anyone heard from Latham post-VI?

does anyone know L&W VI's response time?

From my experience with VIs it can be anywhere between very few days to like 3 weeks. Can’t really pin it down haha.

Sorry I didn't make myself clear, I meant how much time we have to respond to the questions during the actual interview!

Ok Thanks CorpSmith02

If a firm asks about a "business development opportunity", could this be something like a new client? Things like their sector offering, practice area offering, and tech solutions offering all seem really good, and I can't find obvious improvements other than an expansion of a sector or a new client. TIA.
@Jessica Booker would love your opinion on this

Is this is an application or an interview? If it’s an application, please can you share the full question.

hey, I did it last week - 30 seconds to prep an answer, and I think it was 2 minutes to give the answer itself

Can’t remember but a quick tip is that you can start the assessment and get info on timings without needing to actually start the interview. Just keep the link active whilst you prep

Potential interview question - the past question I've seen is "What do you think will be the most important business development affecting our business in the next few years?".

Hi, has anyone heard from Hogan Lovells post-WG for Summer VS?

 

[bzfl]

Hi, has anyone done interviews for Stephenson Harwood or Gibson Dunn? If so, any tips or help would be amazing!

Hi, has anyone heard from Hogan Lovells post-WG for Summer VS?

i haven’t heard anything, but based on previous experience, if you didn’t get rejected straight after WG then it means they are considering our applications

Can I ask how many questions you got and how long each one was and how long you had to prepare?

Thank you in advance.
