    I feel like the question cuts off a wide range of candidates, my job does not allow me to really move things around and show how innovative I am. I think that I need to make a decision by the end of the day...I cannot be stressed anymore. Covington sucked the life out of me lol!

    I start with a practice area. For example, I am interested in litigation so I go on Legal500, check which other firms are ranked and then compare them. I also use the lawyer and google (news section) to see if the firm is on a particular company's legal panel.

    I have learnt that it is actually hard to mention deals or ranks. So, why do you really like litigation? Uni module? what did you like about it and what can the firm offer you? Work experience? what did you like/learn and what does the firm offer you? I hope it helps

    May ask something to the people interested in PE? Recently there has been a massive shopping spree of British companies by US PE funds. Do US funds pay taxes on these acquisitions?

    Hi guys, Could I have your opinion on my answer for the Covington application; the question is asking to discuss an interesting recent news and how this could benefit the firm. I decided, given the firm's expertise on semiconductors, to talk about the global shortage of chip. I am bit stuck on...

    I feel you and I do not have an answer to your question. But the WG does not certainly measure candidates 'intelligence but only a set of abilities. I am not Einstein but I move through life in a smart way ergo I am not stupid. Besides, the Links report states that my strongest skill is...
