DLA Piper AC

[LawGal]

I got invited to the AC which is taking place next week! I'm panicking and did not expect this! I would appreciate it if any of you who have been through this process to share your experiences They were pretty vague and mentioned that I have the following: Competency-based interview · Group exercise · Analysis presentation.

Would you say that the analysis presentation is a case study?

Thanks!

hey @LawGal yes presentation is a case study pack which they give you
you have 1 hour to read it through, make notes and prepare a presentation which you will then present to a partner
the partner will then question you on the presentation!
hop this helps

Hi @LawGal/ anyone who has been to DLA Piper's assessment centre, could you share more on the group exercise? Thanks

I'd also really appreciate any tips on a DLA Piper AC, particularly with the group exercise aspect as I'm not too sure what to expect!

Hi LawGal, I hope that your AC went well! Could you possibly help me with a few questions about it? I have it next week!

• For the competency-based interview, was this a discussion strictly around competencies, or did it also include other kinds of questions?
• What did the group exercise involve exactly?
• What was the subject of your analysis presentation?
• Do you have any general tips around how best to prepare for the AC?

Many thanks in advance -- I really appreciate any assistance you can offer!

Hi guys, I was wondering whether those of you that received an AC had any changes on your application on the portal before the email came in?

Hi everyone - I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice regarding the group exercise, interview and analysis? Also regarding the running of the day as a whole? Thank you!

Thanks! I applied on the 24/12 and am still waiting to hear back. Do you reckon I should follow up with GR?

I don't think you need to just yet - I know a few people that applied in November that still haven't heard back so I reckon you're okay!
