ah really? I was under the impression it would be grad rec at this stage

Nah it's almost always the interviewing partner. People can correct me if they've had different experiences, but it tends to be them.

Hogan Lovells AC, any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

me lol. not many ACs seem to have been given icl but idk

There were many dates to choose from when I selected mine so they seem to be running lots of ACs. I am sure more invites will follow

Does anyone know if Ropes send out AC invites in batches?

Hogan Lovells AC, any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Had an AC with them two years ago, main things would be:

• Prepare hard for situational judgement questions (STAR structure, etc).
• Don't worry too much about not knowing things, the partners will often prompt you on what they want you to elaborate on
• Prepare questions to ask after both interviews.
• Try to be conversational with the partners. The structure may have changed in two years so it might be more rigid now, but I found that having a back and forth worked well in my interview.

Firstly, congratulations on your AC!
Secondly, could you choose from all the dates announced on their website? Trying to figure out if its a PFO..

Has anyone previosuly done a Ropes AC and can shed some light on what to expect/how to prepare? Looks like a very packed day ahaha

 

[KuriTH]

does anyone know when baker will get back for spring vs

Baker has been slowly calling people through this week for outcomes.

Seems to be patchy as they're still running Summer VS ACs. PFOs likely on Friday

 

[James Wakefield]

Any news from Goodwin post-AC?

Any news from Goodwin post-AC?

Does anyone know if Ropes usually does ACs in batches? Bit stressful that they’ve sent out rejections and then also ACs but some of us haven’t heard…

 

[ladyhaleinthehouse]

Hey! Does anyone have any insights/tips on the White & Case Written Assessment?

I can offer insights into the Baker McKenzie, Hogan Lovells, and Freshfields assessments if needed. Thank you!

 

[user55998384]

Nothing so far - I wonder if they're waiting for everyone to complete the SJT/VI before progressions (I'm delusional)

true the last ones would have been today I think so hopefully we hear soon!!

 

[LegallyBrunette_]

Does anyone have any insights into Katten's video interview with HR and their assessment centre? I've just been invited to complete both and there is limited information on the firm's recruitment process online!
