    Hey I’ve heard they let you do the written exercise at any time on the same day as your interview, after you have finished the interview.

    Am I likely to be asked the question ‘where should we open our next office’ by a firm with 46 offices? They seem to have offices everywhere so I don’t know how to answer it :/

    Hey this isn’t for Osborne Clarke but I did and AC with Allen & Overy where you were given time to read a case study and then you had to do a 15 minute presentation answering various questions about the case study- so it might be like that.

    Yeh so you have 90 seconds and the timer is in front of you on the screen. I tried to do a bit of practice before answering some questions in 90 seconds and that helped. Good luck :)

    Hii I did my W&C VI a few days ago- it was honestly fine, pretty simple & basic questions so don’t over prepare. Mostly just know about the firm and think of answers to competency questions and you should be fine! It’s also only 3 questions so very quick to complete. I didn’t have any commercial...

    Thank you! Do they give you a choice of which summer scheme you do (since they offer two schemes) or are you just assigned one?

    In a VI if you run out of things to say is it best to just end the question early (at say 60 seconds rather than 90), or should you try to continue to fill the full time?

    Great thanks so much- yeh I’ve learnt quite a bit about the firm, was just hoping I wouldn’t need v specific commercial awareness examples and stuff like that :)

    Does anyone have any advice on the white & case video interview? Since it’s only 3 days to prepare can I assume the questions will be fairly broad and not too challenging?

    Could anyone tell me what White & Case’s strongest practice areas are?
