[QUOTE="Mentor055, post: 208338, member: 38265"] Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well! I'm delighted to share that I’ve been offered a solicitor apprenticeship at White & Case, which I’m planning to accept! However, I’ve also received final assessment centre invitations from Freshfields, Slaughter and May, and Allen & Overy. Everyone I’ve spoken to has said it would be unwise to turn down a Magic Circle assessment centre in favour of White & Case, given the greater prestige of the Magic Circle firms. Could anyone shed some light on this? I’m particularly interested in international work, especially international arbitration, though I appreciate my interests may evolve over time. My long-term goal is to become a solicitor advocate and, eventually, a KC. I know this isn’t the traditional route, as it’s typically pursued by barristers, but I’m aware of some solicitor advocates who have been successful, so I’m managing my expectations. I’d really appreciate any advice or guidance, as I don’t know many people in the legal field! Thanks so much! [/QUOTE]
