HI @Andrei Radu and @Abbie Whitlock,, for this question for W&C
"Discuss a deal that White & Case has advised on in the last two years."
What do you think the word "deal" refers to here? Is it just on any matters they have worked on, including IPO's, Litigation cases and M&A, or is it just deals in the context of general M&A?

Should being an advisor in your university's legal advice clinic fall under work experience or extra curriculars
Invited to Sidley parter interview (post HR interview)!
I applied 2 mins before the deadline (bad I know) and got the test the next working day
I have put down I have a neurodiversity on my applications. A firm is asking for proof - however I dont really feel comfortable sharing the full 30 page diagnostic report. Does anyone have any past experience of this/ know whether it would be acceptable in just providing a screenshot of the conclusion paragraph?
Hello @Abbie Whitlock , I was reapplying to Reed Smith - but last year, I listed their Diversity and inclusion as one of the reasons. would you recommend changing that this year? - as RS has changed ED&I to Culture & Engagement.
I'm also not sure if their affinity groups exist anymore in the UK as they have been removed in the US.
If you could provide any clarification on this, I would be very grateful!

That is quite odd.
In the past, the maximum I have been asked to do is confirm if I was provided reasonable adjustments even at uni.
I think providing a screenshot of the conclusion paragraph should be fine because that in itself is proof of your neurodiversity.
Has anyone ever gotten a white and case offer with less than AAB A-levels? Wondering if there is any point in applying for their vac scheme
I got an AC invite today
