I picked a 10:30am-12:30pm slot.Please provide a summary of each assessment on the day with approximate timings.There's first a 45 minute CV blind interview with a member of grad rec and an associate/ partner. This is followed by a one your written exercise. After the written exercise, a trainee gives you a tour of the office.Please list any interview questions you were asked.The questions I was asked were about my interest in the firm, any of their recent cases/deals that might have interested me, my understanding of what a trainee does and what I think would be challenging for me were I to train at White & Case. As the interview is CV blind, they asked me about my interests and experiences and what I had gained from them. I was also asked some questions about significant developments in the legal industry and how that might impact change. There were some questions about how developments in the present macro-economic scenario could impact their work. There was an opportunity at the end to ask unto 3 questions.What is your best advice for each aspect of the assessment on the day? Please break this down for each assessment. This can include advice for preparation, as well as tips for the day.Interview: make sure you read up on the firm's recent work and think about why that interests you. Have 3-4 questions prepared to ask at the end. Be mindful of the fact that it's CV blind so you might have to make an added effort to highlight things you want to. Written exercise: It's a summary client briefing exercise and you get given a stack of articles. I found the time pressure to be the hardest part of the exercise so do constantly monitor your time. Try and use the PESTLE analysis. Make sure you have a clear and concise structure, preferably follow the one they hint at. Link the different articles together. Were you successful?No</blockquote>
