Which firms host virtual assessment centres?

Hi guys,

International candidate here applying for TCs.

I wondered if you knew of any firms that hosted virtual ACs or had the option to attend a virtual AC. I know Freshfields had the option for both in-person and virtual ACs for direct training contract applications as of last year.

As an international candidate, it's not feasible to fly in and out of the UK all the time, so the help is appreciated!

Hi @hibah I know last year Slaughter and May and Davis Polk had virtual assessments. I have also heard White & Case offers the option of online assessments.
