Hi everyone,

I’m happy to share information on the Dechert Stage 2 assessment, including the written exercise and critical judgement/reasoning assessment, in exchange for any insight into the video interview questions recently asked for:

• Macfarlanes
• Freshfields
• Latham & Watkins

Ideally, I'm looking for the questions from the current 2026/27 application cycle. (However, last year works too)

Feel free to DM me if you’d prefer to exchange privately. Thanks!

How do you guys balance writing apps, online assessments, vi's etc., with working full time? I am so exhausted and its only the beginning

Do you know if pre-recorded video interview questions are typically the same in different cycles, let's say 2025/6 and 2026/7? Also, are they the same for a TC and a VS?
