Hi everyone!

I recently got an invite to an AC with NRF. This is my very first AC and I'm not sure where to start with my prep or what to expect from the case study, negotiation exercise, and partner interview. If you've done the NRF AC before, or have any general tips on how to prepare, I would really appreciate your insights! :)

    Hi Rachel,

    I'm going to direct you to some of the existing interview experiences for NRF we have on the forum https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/norton-rose-fulbright-interview-2019-2020.2264/ My own experience with the AC is actually on there as well so hopefully that gives you some guidance.

    For the negotiation exercise, Jacob has written this fantastic resource on how to excel at negotiations generally. https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....ssed-negotiations-monday-article-series.3018/

    If you have any follow up questions after going through those pages, let me know! :)

    Sorry - did you apply for direct TC or VS?
