    Mayer Brown trainee simulation

    For scenario based questions, I usually have the firm's values in mind when answering the questions. There's not much else you can do to prepare. Since it's only 45m in total, I imagine the written exercise might be a short summary exercise or drafting an email? Again, not much else to prepare...

    Interview question - tell us about a time you compromised your views

    Hi, I don't necessarily have an answer to this question, but I was asked this question in a recent interview. I didn't have an example, so I said something along the lines of "I haven't personally been in this situation, but if I were, I know I would act with transparency, honesty, integrity...

    Freshfields Workshop Applications

    As long as you have a strong application, I don't think it's particularly hard. I was on last year's non-law workshop and I think there were about 20-25 of us.

    Latham's AC has a 30-minute written exercise (not M&A) - I feel this is so short! Any ideas of what content could be given and they would expect us to reply within such limited time?

    If a firm is v strong in many areas, including project finance and private equity, but my main motivation was because of its project finance practice, would I need to mention private equity in an interview (even though I only know the basics and can't say I'm interested in it due to no experience)?

    White & Case Application Form

    Hi, it doesn't matter how many work experiences you include - include all, regardless of whether they are legal or not. 3-4 sentences is fine + make sure to include the skills and qualities you gained. Re the second question, don't worry, they don't have to be related to W&C and it won't place...
