It's quite time-pressured and you have to write a note to a client explaining what he can and can’t do in a certain situation (client comes to you with a few questions, you’re given the background and the relevant legal and financial points and then have to answer them in a letter if that makes sense).I don’t think the written exercise is weighted too strongly though and the interview is your classic why law/why Weil/why PE/what is PE/why law over PE or IB etc. (or at least it was when I did it a couple of years ago!)Because I was doing well, they then asked me some left-field questions, e.g. if you ran a PE fund where/what area would you invest in and why?Hopefully, the above helps <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Even though I didn't get a TC with them, it is a great firm with some really nice people so wishing you all the best of luck!Dan</blockquote>
