Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020
The larger firms will typically email you before the scheme with a timetable (although sometimes they don't tell you what department you're in until the first day). However, if you don't hear anything a few weeks before the scheme, then emailing them to find out is completely fine. Great...- Jaysen

Commercial issues
In that case, your suggestion sounds perfectly fine to me, it's definitely a current commercial issue. It's fine if the topic itself is broad provided you give specific reasons to explain your point of view. The best answers to these questions are topics you personally find interesting, which...- Jaysen

Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020
If it was just a phone interview, you might be OK, even if they have already have a record of you applying. I can't say for sure, but no harm in shooting them an email to find out (just say in the body of your email that you feel your understanding of commercial law etc. has improved since you...- Jaysen

Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020
Going off this thread Travers has had a bit of a hard time managing the apps they’ve received this year: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/travers-smith-interview.1215/ If it’s true, they should really update their website to reflect this, otherwise it’s a wasted application...- Jaysen

Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020
Yep, if there's nothing on the firm's website against it, you should be fine. If you were just rejected at application stage, I'm not convinced you'll be at any disadvantage (firms should understand candidates improve over time and many do re-apply to firms). This is more likely to put you at...- Jaysen

Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020
I think it's hard to put a number on as it depends on your availability to write applications. If you had absolutely nothing to do bar writing applications, I'd say write as many as you can (15+). Not everyone is in that position, however, especially if you can only write applications in the...- Jaysen

BCLP Assessment Centre
I had this passed on to me anonymously: "So we had to do three different tasks: a written case study exercise, a presentation/role play exercise, and a negotiation in pairs.

The Huawei security risk
It looks like Trump is using the Huawei ban as leverage for a trade deal: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-48392021 'US President Donald Trump has said Huawei could be part of a trade deal between the US and China, despite branding the telecoms firm "very dangerous".'- Jaysen

This is one of the more challenging situational judgement questions I've seen.
