I have a few questions regarding applications. As I am now have a job, when it comes to questions like why do you want to be a commercial lawyer and Why law. Should I just talk about my experiences from my work place or I can discuss how the interest stemmed from may be an event I attended at University or an internship? Secondly, what points should I consider when answering questions like is AI and tech a threat or an opportunity to the firm? should I discuss the current initiatives of firms and should I be taking sides or remain neutral? @Jessica Booker

You should use whatever experiences have really driven your motivations for a legal career in law. It doesn’t really matter what the experience is, it’s more about explaining how’s it’s shaped your motivations. Therefore, you could use your work experience or the event you attended, or even both.
For more commercial questions that are asking you to analyse a topic, it is important to bring your own thinking to the answer. Although you can reference things that the firm has done in this space, it’s really important to show your analysis rather than just repeating the firm stance on the topic.
More candidates are likely to reference or repeat information about the firm’s strategy in relation to AI, and you are risking not standing out from the crowd if you just take the same approach and let what the firm is doing being the core part of your answer.
Is this for people applying to Dubai or has there been a next stage added to the London VS as well?
Did you apply for the London VS? I completed my assessment in April, do we think it's a PFO for the people that did the assessment last month?
Is this for the summer VS? I did the assessment and interview for the London summer VS aaaages ago. Hoping I've not just been tossed to the side to expect a PFO soon....
What did they tell you when you emailed them saying you already did the test?
They haven’t replied to me directly yet, but I got the email via Candid about the incorrect date for the assessment & VI
Has anyone heard back from the Government Legal Profession for the diversity access scheme??
Not for diversity scheme but was invited to the next test yesterday, believe PFOs went out Tuesday
Has anyone heard back from A&O Shearman regarding the B.U.I.L.D programme post interview ?
Hi yall, need some advice. I've got an AC for Brabners coming up late June, but it is my first one and I'm a non-law student.
1. Any experience with this firm's AC? Any advice?
2. How does one prepare for an AC? Especially when a lot of the basic interview questions are on the application form eg: why this firm?
3. Does Brabners prefer stengths-based or competency interviews?
4. Most importantly: they sent me the offer mid-April and said to reply to it to confirm, which I did. However they never responded after that? They haven't sent through an itinerary yet or even recognised I am attending. Is this normal? How short notice before the AC would I need to message to confirm with them?
Many thanks
