    Incoming Baker Mckenzie Vacation Scheme

    Hi - I have a vacation scheme with Baker Mckenzie coming up this Spring! I'm really excited to be able to have the chance to undertake the scheme at a world-class firm such as Bakers, and I've also heard historically there is a high conversion rate; however, I don't like to leave things up for...

    Greenberg Traurig

    Hi all - I have an AC next week with Greenberg Traurig. All I know is that there's two interviews, a written exercise and a group presentation. I've only done an AC at one other big US firm, and I didn't get through, so it's safe to say I'm a little nervous 😅 As a result, I was wondering if...

    How common is it to move from a non-MC/SC City firm to a US firm

    I have a TC at an international City firm but I'm quite interested in exploring a move to a US firm at either on qualification or at a junior level. I was wondering how common this is?

    Weil Assessment Centre Tips

    Hi guys, I've had a fair few DMs after my post in the vacation scheme thread about Weil so I figured I'd make a thread here so everyone can have the benefit of any 'knowledge' I've got. The written exercise is okay. It's quite time-pressured and you have to write a note to a client explaining...

    Would it be possible to study Law in the US?

    I'm currently a Computer Science student. I'll be doing the SQE after my degree with the hopes of becoming a corporate lawyer in a MC firm. What's the process for a student to be able to legally practice law in the US, specifically states like New York? Is it possible? Or do you need to go to a...

    Individual Presentation Tips

    Hi everyone! I will have to conduct an individual presentation soon (5 minutes long followed by a 5 minute Q&A). This can be in any format I prefer, e.g. digital or not. The topic will not be legal, but related to current issues in the news. Has anyone ever had to prepare a presentation in...

    Distinguishing Heavyweight US Firms

    Hello all, I have an assessment centre scheduled next week with L&W, and I'm looking to gain a good grasp upon the main distinctions between Latham and Kirkland, their main competitors. I'm aware that Latham is said to be more 'global' than Kirkland due to their increased presence in other...

    Akin Gump App Question

    I'm struggling a bit with the following question, and haven't seen anyone else discussing Akin Gump so far so I figured I'd post it: 'What attracts you to Akin Gump and how do you consider you would add value during a vacation scheme in the London office?' The first part is obviously just a...

    I'm currently writing an application with 4 questions where none of them have word counts. This is for Morrison & Foerster and includes questions like why us, why law (these two are bundled together), a commercial news story that impacts us, personal achievements etc. I'm tempted to not limit...
