Hearing Back from Firms + AC & Interview Tips Share - 2018 - 2019
Yes to everything that has been said! I definitely had my moment last week after my Dec/Jan round of applications came in with only one AC and a rejection. I think it's important to let yourself have these moments because it is disheartening after the amount of work it takes to make it to two...- Didi

I heard back from Dechert and it was a rejection... It was my first AC so regardless I'm happy about getting the experience. For my feedback call I was told I came across strong at interview for both motivation and the case study. It was the written exercise that got me. I overcomplicated my...- Didi

I didn't go into much detail. The question was posed as what has been your strategy for applying and how has it gone so far? My personal justification for some MS vs US firms is the scale of the work they're doing specifically in the practice areas that are of interest to me. The firm I...- Didi

Hi I had an AC this week and I would say there is two parts to this. Firstly, I don't think that its a negative to be honest about the process of being rejected its a sad truth but I made sure to explain my willingness to be resilient and still keep applying. Trying to take every experience as a...- Didi

Commercial Awareness Update - February 2019!
This is regarding the Disney and Fox Merger. I was listening to the Clifford Chance Podcast on trends in Global M&A and they brought up the fact that there is going to be real opportunities in 2019 for law firms to advise frustrated mid-market clients. In trying to compete with corporations that...- Didi

Thank you Sandrou! Yes, the interview is split into three categories: about you, about Dechert and a commercial awareness scenario. The "talk to us about our competitors" has been really pushed as it came up during the Open Day and VI. I will definitely update everyone once completed!- Didi

After 7 rejections this application round I have finally been invited to my first AC at Dechert next week. These forums have been so helpful in developing my application technique. AC are a new challenge, does anyone have any tips for a first timer? It will be a written exercise and a partner...- Didi

I unfortunately failed the WG and it took them 6 days to get back to me. But, this was also before the Christmas break they are most likely way busier now. Anyone heard anything today about AC for Clifford Chance Training Contract applications?- Didi
