    Can anyone who has done the Weil VI share insight into the number/theme of questions and how much time to prepare? Thank you!

    Oh okay, it wasn’t initially clear what aspect you were referring to. Yeah I understand what you mean. Personally, I think if anyone wants to apply for a firm, they might as well put in an application. If a firm thinks an application is strong, they will progress it regardless of when it was...

    Weil WG! They must be reviewing apps at this moment because I applied less than an hour ago 😦

    Hi @Jessica Booker, I hope you are well, I have a question. I’ve been offered a month’s internship at a national law firm. I genuinely want the experience (and pay😅) but in the email, it said it would start late June/early July. I’m also currently in the final stage of a legal summer analyst...

    If it’s any consolation, I did my Baker McKenzie VI today as well, and I’m pretty sure I spoke really quickly in the last two questions 😭 My advice is to try and focus on something else (although it’s easier said than done). Best of luck!

    Is Latham’s work simulation like an SJT? Or similar to the job simulation exercise of Mayer Brown? Just wondering if it will involve any recorded elements, etc.

    I’d say it’s usually better than you think and if you don’t progress, it’s still an opportunity to learn. I laughed halfway when answering a question in a VI because I lost my train of thought and I’m currently in the final round of interviews for that role, so I wouldn’t worry. Just wait for...

    I would include volunteer roles but I would not include committee positions or extra curricular activities in the work experience section. Those are more suited to the application questions.

    I attended a session with graduate recruitment earlier in the year and they made it clear that they’re not expecting you to name-drop other firms. I’d say just convey in your answer how Latham differentiates itself and why that appeals to you.

    Hi Asil, I definitely don’t think this weekend is too late. In general, I’d say if you genuinely want to apply for a firm, just do it. I really liked Baker McKenzie, applied on the day of the deadline (I’m not doing this again lol 🤣) for the spring VS and still progressed. Just ensure someone...

    They are rolling for both spring and summer, but they will consider all applications as long as you send it before the deadline 😊
