Penningtons Manches Cooper AC

[Gemma Cotton]

Hey everyone,

Does anyone have any advice on the Penningtons AC, I have mine next week and haven’t heard anything about what it encompasses. I know this is their last AC, so does anyone who has had the AC have any advice please?

Thank you!!

Hi Gemma

I don't remember the interview too well except for knowing that I straight-up didn't have an answer to "tell us about a case we're working on that you find interesting", so it might be wise to prepare something on that! I believe the questions were more strengths-based, but I'm not completely certain.

Also the written exercise is fairly time-pressured and you will get called out in the middle of it to do your interview and the mock client interview, make sure you manage your time well. There are a few different exercises within the written part, including a proof-reading exercise and drafting a letter of advice to a client. It's all hand-written as well.

Edit: And bring your own highlighters!

Thank you so much! That’s so helpful!

Hi Gemma,

I have been invited to an AC with Penningtons Manches Cooper. I was wondering if you remembered anything about your experience last year that you could pass onto me??

Thank you!
