My journey to a training contract
Hey Asil, This is a tricky one. I think most people do apply closer to the deadline, it can just be harder because you are competing for fewer spaces. It doesn't mean that the firm won't still consider your application though. I'm afraid I don't know of Macfarlanes' specific situation, so it's...- Jaysen

Clifford Chance interview
I know a couple of years back Clifford Chance focused on Mergers and Acquisitions. In January last year, at least one of them involved being given a case study bundle on restructuring/administration (particularly what happened with Thomas Cook). This consisted of a few FT and BBC articles...- Jaysen

Clifford Chance interview
I think Jacob might be discussing something slightly different to a typical 'case study'. These would be more fitting for commercial interviews or presentations, where candidates are asked to discuss a commercial topic of interest, or have some time to prepare in advance.- Jaysen
