That was a really detailed answer thank you! If you don't mind me asking one more - I studied economics instead of law at uni, do you think you were at a disadvantage by being a non-law student?
Hi Amy, thanks for doing this and congratulations on Clifford Chance! I noticed you also applied to an American firm, so what made you choose Clifford Chance?
I did a banking internship last summer. In an AC this year they really grilled me on my motivation to do commercial law. Questions like 'don't you think a banker has a more central role in a deal?' and 'why would you want to sit on the side' etc. I came so close to agreeing with them haha
I wasnt sure where to post this so please move it if it's on the wrong place. This isn't really applicable to me yet but it will be soon. I was wondering if you had any tips on networking during schemes? How do you 'work the room'? Do I prepare?
I just wanted to say this is going to be so helpful for my training contract application to Allen & Overy. Ive been struggling to work out how to tailor an application and this makes it a lot clearer.
