    Agree with AJ but the number I think that allows you to do the above is between 8-12 applications

    Bird & Bird Assessment Centre

    Hi guys, Following on from my video interview I have been invited to an AC with Bird & Bird. I just wondered if anyone had any experience with the firm and with what the day entails/what sort of things you do? Any advice and tips would be much appreciated! Thanks and Merry Christmas, Daniel

    Private Equity Resources and Trends

    I would say that law firms can help PE clients through the speed of service, the creation of novel and tax-efficient deal structures (it is the law firm that does this rather than the PE firm who look at what companies to buy) and through their expertise at structuring multiple unique deals...

    A Level Equivalents

    If that's the case and they've got an IB equivalent I would presume they will go off the UCAS point equivalent so don't stress pal! What's the firm or what kind of firm i.e. US/Magic Circle/Silver Circle/National etc. is it if you'd rather not give the name? I agree - you're probably just being...

    A Level Equivalents

    Law firms tend to go by a A level and the equivalent UCAS points when listing a level requirements.

    K&E

    I just completed Weil's VI which I imagine would be very similar to Kirkland's. I prepared for all of the things you have mentioned and was asked 4 questions on why the firm, why law, a business story that interests you and a competency question (mine was biggest achievement) so I think you look...
