does anyone have any tips for the written exercise for decherts round 2 of the application process please? i.e. how to prepare, what to read up on, has anyone already done it and willing to share some insight? thanks!
Hi @jamesbaillie, congratulations on progressing this far with a great firm!

I do not have particular experience with Dechert's written exercise, but if it takes the form of a case study then I have written some advice on things to do in preparation, including in the assessment before you start writing!

@George Maxwell has also offered some excellent insight into how you should be looking to structure your written exercise :)

Hi, I was wondering if you took the written exercise for Dechert already and if you were willing to share some insights or tips on how to prepare? It is my first written exercise so I would really appreciate it! Thanks!
