Kirkland and ellis open day 2021

[SAA]

Hello everyone ,

I have just been accepted to the Kirkland and ellis open day March 2021.

I'm very surprised that I got accepted as I have been rejected from multiple other firms. I just assumed K&E would reject me anyways as they're very competitive.

Anyways , I'm extremely nervous and I dont know how the open day will run ie their structure, will they ask us any questions etc.

Could anyone with prior experience help me by telling me How I should prepare , what normally happens at an open day , and any questions they may ask me and an appropriate way to answer those questions.

I dont want to mess this up for myself as I have no experience before whatsoever, I'm a first year law student and 17 years old so I haven't had much time to gain experience especially now due to covid.

Any help would be gladly appreciated.



Also if anyone knows how many participants K&E normally takes on for their open day such as how many apps they receive on average and how many they accept that would be great.

Thank you so much.

Hi,

I have been accepted too! I have attended various open days so I am assuming it will be very similar. Usually presentations on the firm and talks from the trainees and associates with the chance to ask questions after. So far it hasn’t been a requirement to have cameras on but it is optional. There were around 40 other attendees.
