(HAS TO BE A TOPIC VV RELEVANT TO THE FIRM)!! This normally leads to a discussion between us...

    I normally integrate this to why this firm: 1. Business strategy - internationally and locally (focusing on practice areas is not the best since a lot of competitors are neck and neck). What I mean is do they open their own office or do they collaborate with local firms? Why? How does that...

    Hi @Ram Sabaratnam @Amma Usman @Andrei Radu , If asked in an AC interview: Why linklaters (both in the middle east and the UK)? How does linklaters stand out from other firms (or magic circle firms)? How should I answer it? I got feedback from an AC that my biggest let down was the fact...
