    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    From what I remember from their open day last year, they're really proud of their sector expertise, particularly in retail.

    Also invited to White & Case interview! Extremely shocked as I submitted my VI almost two weeks ago and had prepared myself for the rejection - don't give up hope if you're still waiting!

    Would be grateful for an opinion on the following: In answering the question 'what is a business you admire', is it necessary to link it back to the firm? Is it more hinting that I should choose a client of the firm?

    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    Is anyone who recently completed the Mayer Brown phone interview still waiting to hear the outcome? It's been four days now, odd as other people seem to have heard the next day, regardless of whether it was a positive or negative result. I have emailed grad rec but no response so far.

    It's possible. I submitted an application on the 30th Jan last year and passed the test, but by then they had filled up all of their AC spaces and stopped the process. I'm not sure how much of a difference a week would make, but it can't hurt to try.
