Yes I know what you mean like I had my application rejected by Skadden and HSF but then got progressed past applkication stage for similar law firms so it is just that a good application does not always mean you will not progress past application stage. But do bare in mind that HSF are a really competitive firm and they are really academic strict.
Any advice for Freshfields AC? My first ever and I’m so nervous!
Good evening all.
What resources did everyone use to really dig deep into M&A and specifically a lawyers role in it? I have gone through the commercial law handbook and TCLA's mini-course - but I still feel like I have a very superficial understanding. Are there any resources that really go in-depth from a law perspective?

Youtube videos or other sources by doing more research on it.
I watched this video a few times when I was researching and revising for ACs and I always learnt something new each time. They're two partners at Hogan Lovells and they basically talk through (in quite a humorous way) the steps of an M&A deal with a fictional case study. Though they're American, it should still give you a good idea around an acquisition!
edit: since you're looking for the legal aspects of M&A, this video is particularly helpful in talking about key provisions/terms you'd put in, which is obviously what the lawyers would be trying to do!

For those who completed Freshfields' WG, did you get an email confirmation of some sort/update on the job portal to confirm that you have completed the WG? I finished my WG but didn't receive any confirmation email, nor is there any indication on the job portal that I have completed the WG. Not sure if it's just me being paranoid but not hearing back after WG is killing me (it's been a week since I completed the WG - but it seems like ppl getting to freshfields ac on this forum all got their AC invites relatively quickly after the WG) and the last thing i want to hear is my WG didn't register because of a system error or smth
For context: i applied for freshfields summer vac scheme on the friday before the deadline. received WG invite the following tuesday

Focusing on the positives - huge congrats ✨
Can I ask when you did the B&B VI? I’m very nervous & still waiting haha. Thanks
Here’s to another day of everyone getting ACs and me pretending I have a drinking problem 🍷
I just sat mine today after receiving the invite yesterday around 4pm. Let's hope we hear soon
I'm sorry to hear that, I am about to sit the BM VI in the next few days... I've read on this forum that they usually have a notorious 'surprise' question right?
When people speak of applying "too close to the deadline", what do they usually mean? I get that applying 2-3 days before a deadline might be too close. But is 2-3 weeks before a deadline also too close? @Jessica Booker if you have any thoughts, I'd be grateful to hear them
Is anyone still waiting for an invite to take the WG for Freshfields or should I just consider it a PFO?
