I got this question at a recent successful interview and I said what you said + where they operate (jurisdictions) + how seriously the law firm takes ESG as well (so as not to damage reputation). So think ur ok!I was asked in an interview, other than black letter law, what do you think our clients look to us for?
I said value for money (how efficiently the firm can get tasks done, using AI etc) and expertise/reputation, which I linked to building longstanding client relationships, while referring to a client I knew had used the firm on multiple occasions.
Is this the kind of thing they were looking for or have I misinterpreted their question??
Thank you, that's reassuring I also got asked a question on what issues clients are facing and how the firm can help. If I spoke about the EU AI Act, rather an AI more broadly, and how they will have to prepare for these regulations to avoid fines, is that fine? I'm worried I didn't answer the question! I did throw in something about rising interest rates as a separate point but not sure with how much conviction!I got this question at a recent successful interview and I said what you said + where they operate (jurisdictions) + how seriously the law firm takes ESG as well (so as not to damage reputation).

Thanks When did you sit your AC if you don't mind me asking? I had mine on 5 March. Do you know if all offers have been handed out?I received a call on Wednesday
They held two open days, one in December and Janurary. They didn’t have enough spaces for everyone so held one in January- did you receive the email?Does anyone have notes from Mayer Brown's Open Day in December 2023? If so I would be grateful if you could PM me and share.
I haven’t received it yet.. how long did it take for everyone else?Is the test for Browne Jacobson automatic?
Same here, did my AC last week of February and still haven’t had a responseAnyone had an assessment centre at W&C and still not heard back? Did mine the first week of March and they said they'd get back to me at the end of the following week.
It's been 3 weeks now and still nothing. Should I phone?
Yes, that is what they are looking for. You haven’t misinterpreted the question.I was asked in an interview, other than black letter law, what do you think our clients look to us for?

I have a good friend who failed SQE last year and they were offered a second attempt!CMS & Slaughters have revoked tcs too forSQE failed attempts 👀this is brutal
I didn't apply to their December Open Day.They held two open days, one in December and Janurary. They didn’t have enough spaces for everyone so held one in January- did you receive the email?
Ok, I’m out volunteering atm but will send you over my notes once I get home- I took ALOT of notesI didn't apply to their December Open Day.
Thanks for the information.
If I don't get anything this cycle, I will certainly apply to attend their next one.
I hope they are at least reviewing second attempts holistically for each individual person then! I still think it’s a crazy stance to take given the SQE is holding you at NQ level compared to the LPC.I have a good friend who failed SQE last year and they were offered a second attempt!
Seems unfair to me to allow 2nd attempt one year and revoke TC offer the next year.
I'm waiting -- other people ik have been rejected in the meantime -- and someone ik in year above at uni who got tc last year had to wait over a month to be invited to AC so I really wouldn't give it too much thought -- doesn't make sense to assume a pfo when you haven't actually received the email because if they weren't still considering the app they'd just reject youIs anyone stilling waiting for W/C post VI. It’s been 6 weeks for me I’m assuming pfo now .
