    The warranties and indemnities aren't underwritten by the target company, but instead by the shareholders (and occasionally directors) of the company personally, or it's pitted against a part of the purchase price which is held in escrow for a period of time (often 2 years, but could be the tort...

    A shareholders' agreement is a private contract between the shareholders of a company pertaining to different elements of how the company should be operated as well as individual shareholders' rights and obligations and different share class' rights.

    Thanks @Celestie! I would recommend my recent articles on different common components of Assessment Centres (interview days) here in the UK. While they're not representative of every person's experience at every firm, they take a broad-brush look at different components that frequently pop up...

    I highly doubt you would experience any career damage working for a firm which represented Trump - if some place judged you negatively for this, it would speak volumes about them to be honest! Notwithstanding you being implicated in some form of legal wrongdoing as a result of such...

    Ask 3 future trainees (Magic & Silver Circle, International Elite) ANYTHING! *New TCLA Team Members*

    Great question! To be honest, I don't think there is necessarily a right or wrong answer. Personally, I've only ever done one EC and never held a committee position at Uni level; I've never felt as if I'm at a disadvantage for that, either. I've always focussed on working and earning so the vast...

    Written/presentation case studies

    Hi, Best of luck for your AC. I would personally use an executive summary in order of importance and then detail each issue and next steps/ solution below using clear sub-headings relating to each issue in the same order.

    Nah, unfortunately my interviewer was just thoroughly unpleasant. I dare say that yours is the response I would get if I pushed the issue but it would be a pretty poor excuse. One of those things, I picked myself up and accepted it, then went on to smash 2 VSs and a TC so didn't let it hold me...

    Dress code

    Always be overdressed rather than under! I would be in formal attire for this personally.

    I used to get painfully anxious about this too! I would personally wait 7 working days after whenever they said we'd get an update before emailing :)

    So sorry that happened to you. I've been crucified in a similar manner by a partner in a CS interview before and it's one of the worst feelings in the world!

    I agree with Jaysen here: I wouldn't try and pre-empt what sub-headings should be before you've done the exercise. Just keep them clear, relevant and to-the-point on the day!

    Ask 3 future trainees (Magic & Silver Circle, International Elite) ANYTHING! *New TCLA Team Members*

    Hey, great question! I haven't interviewed with a private client firm personally, but I would approach it along a few broad lines: - firstly, it's going to be particularly relevant to a few specific interview questions: "why us?"/ "what other firms have you applied to?" etc etc. You can use...
