    Application Qn

    I think it's a good answer. Your writing is clear and I like your analysis. You show a good understanding of the issues. I'm assuming you've written up to the word count, which gives you limited room to develop your points. If you can, I'd work a bit more on your second paragraph. You lead with...

    Addleshaw Goddard video interview

    That's how I would interpret the email. Unfortunately, I've seen so many varied video interview questions, so it's hard to say with any certainty. I like your approach @Maral - that's pretty much what I would do, practice as many questions as I could (ideally in a video interview format). I...

    Addleshaw Goddard video interview

    Hey guys First response (from a future trainee at AG) - "The best point I could make is that I thought the video interview had gone terribly. It can feel so unnatural without having any response and having the timer constantly ticking down. So I guess stemming from that it’s important not to...

    A&O and CC interview

    A kind soul who recently secured a CC training contract just sent me this. I hope it helps! "The day starts off with a competency interview. It's relatively straightforward - just a chat about what you do outside the university, some basic competencies and your motivations for Clifford Chance...

    Hearing Back from Firms + AC & Interview Tips Share - 2018 - 2019

    I suppose at least the other two turned out to be good news. Imagine if you received an interview invite only for the firm to tell you it was a mistake!

    Company Law Questions

    I'm afraid I'm not sure what a common route is. I don't think shareholders have a great recourse if they want damages - I recall a few cases where the courts were pretty reluctant to interfere with directors' decision making. Another option I didn't mention is suing for breach of contract. I...

    I think you have the choice and I've seen both approaches. Personally, I think you can make a stronger pitch if you write directly to the client.
