I have a Perkins Coie interview next week - does anyone have any tips please for the first-stage interview? I can provide insight to Ashurst & HSF AC's

DAC Beachcroft VI (DTC). For reference I applied on the 18th Dec and received the invite this morning. If anyone has any insights please help. I seemed to have flopped all the VI's I've done so far so if there's anyone that can help me out, I'll really appreciate it. Thanks!

How many days did you get to complete the VI?

So just to clarify, has Freshfields sent out any DTC PFOs? Or is it just ACs so far

For HL DTC, one question is providing details of any open days and events you’ve attended. Do I just list them or give further details? Anyone who’s applied for HL DTC please help, thanks!
