    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica, I was wondering if we get informed about the outcome of our pre-screenings by Vero or the firm? I submitted my questionnaire a while ago and had to help them clarify certain issues and have had no communication since! May just be overthinking but would you be able to help please?

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    I watched this video a few times when I was researching and revising for ACs and I always learnt something new each time. They're two partners at Hogan Lovells and they basically talk through (in quite a humorous way) the steps of an M&A deal with a fictional case study. Though they're American...
