    CMS or DLA Piper?

    Congratulations on your offers! It is my first time applying and I am in my final year, and my DLA application is the furthest I've ever made it so I'm quite nervous about the video interview. Would you have any advice or be able to let me know what sort of questions they ask?

    Thank you so much! I have drafted my White & Case, and Taylor Wessing ones but I have a call with some trainees to give me advice this week. So I assume it is in my best interest to talk to them first, and not just apply because it is the first day?
