Fair point - will make a point of clarifying this when using made-up terms in future. I'll take this opportunity to also mention that it's best not to use the term 'magic circle' when interviewing at a magic circle firm, they don't particularly like it.- Rob93

W&C doesn't approach any of those 3 in the high-end rankings - I think W&C do more in sheer volume of deals though. W&C is also far more diversified in London and is more of a full-service firm.- Rob93

Kirkland, Latham & Weil - it's a completely made up (by me) designation but they're often grouped together and all in Band 1 for high-end buyouts (along with Freshfields & CC)- Rob93

I've heard grad rec say that they like to see team players, so if that can be flagged up in work experience it's probably a good call- Rob93

Not with an actual signature but a sign-off is probably appropriate - can use sincerely since we know the addressee's name- Rob93

Think someone here the other day mentioned getting to AC at A&O without legal work experience? Probably easier if you study/studied law at uni, I presume eyebrows would be raised at an English grad applying for TCs right out the gate- Rob93

It is an awful question (in my opinion) and definitely a stumbling block for candidates who haven't come across the right opportunities to build out that sort of thing. Hope Covington went well and best of luck with HL!- Rob93

It might help to bear in mind that 1) entrepreneurship and innovation are fundamentally about using initiative to remedy some defect or deficiency, and 2) the problems which entrepreneurs and innovators set out to solve are, in the overwhelming majority of cases, fairly marginal and stunningly...- Rob93

Haha I ditched the app on the basis of this question alone. I think broadly though if you've ever done anything in a work context where you improved a process in some way, or helped kick off a new initiative with a student society or something, that should be fair play imo the question...- Rob93
