Do they? I didn’t realise they do

Seeing that Travers Smith calls to give interview offers, i'm a bit concerned because I am an international applicant and live outside the UK. I put down an international number, and perhaps that puts me at a disadvantage? I do have the right to work in the UK and studied there too.
It's just something that has been on my mind.

Hi I got a call and I’m an international student myself so I don’t think you should worry about that

MoFo still giving out interviews - got an invite just now. Applied on deadline.

I don't know, I just assumed because they did ask for two as I recall. Perhaps more realistic that this happens at a later stage!

Out of curiosity are winter VS more competitive compared to spring or summer VS?

Hi everyone, got a Ropes AC, first ever AC. If anyone has any specific advice about Ropes or just general advice about AC's, I'd be really grateful. Nervous is a bit of an understatement. @Jessica Booker do you have any tips/links to suggest?

Anyway I really hope everyone here gets good news from firms soon

What type of exercises are you going to have?

Is interview the second stage after application?

Is interview the second stage after application?

yeah they have 2 interview processes - first is with like "attorney recruitment" and associates then they have a day when you go to office and do a presentation and another interview.

Has anyone attended a virtual W&C practice area session in the past?

I registered for the capital markets one this afternoon, however, I'm feeling as rough with COVID.

I'm wondering whether it's interactive or more of a talk.

Hi @Jessica Booker - could you please point me to some posts regarding ACs (specifically with Farrers or any other mainly private client firm)? The AC consists of an individual written exercise and a group case study exercise. It's my first AC so don't know what to expect

If you google law firm written exercise or case study there are loads of resources. On the google search some tcla posts should also come up which go through them in detail
