Hi Lizzie,

Could you potentially tell me a bit more about the hands-on immersive deal scenario. Is this akin to an assessment centre group task where we will be given a task and present findings to associates and / or partners, and receive feedback. Will it also be observed by PW associates / partners ? The website mentions "Interactive Workshopsarticipate in workshops that simulate the real-world legal environment." Is this the same as the hands-on immersive deal scenario?

Is there anything else changing that means it looks a bit different?

Thank you!

Hi there - finalising my written answers for the insight afternoon now.
In response to the question: "Why would you like to attend this insight afternoon, and what is one specific thing about Paul, Weiss that you're hoping to find out more about? (300 words max.)" I've picked a few things unique to the firm that I find interesting (culture etc...), before linking it directly to something I'd like to gain from the insight afternoon.

I'm conscious that you need to demonstrate interest / more than surface level research into the firm. I'm pretty confident I've done this through the language I've used + the points I've made, yet am aware that I haven't demonstrated much commercial awareness by not citing any firm activity via recent deasl / cases etc. I'm aware the question doesn't explicitly ask for this, but have seen previous open day application questions where people thread these in, and was curious if this was something that people would recommend I try and do? Thanks a lot!

Hi there! I'm also finalising my application^ My question applies to the second on the form:

Please include details of events, webinars and virtual work experience that you have taken part in that have helped you increase your understanding of a career in law. (300 words max.)

Am I right in thinking I can also detail internships completed, as well as physical work experiences? I presume this is still relevant, but also conscious that it's not actually been asked. Am I correct to add these? Or is it simply as straightforward as the question stated, with concentration placed on solely events, webinars and virtual experiences?
