    With group exercises, I mainly have experience with case study ones where We need to advise a client or find a solution. For these, it was just keeping up with commercial awareness but also making sure I am confident in the firms practices and capabilities (for example explaining recommending to...

    I did it last month but honestly forgot a lot of it because I think my mind has blocked it out bc of the trauma 😭 I did somehow pass it though, and honestly, I would just say research and think about Ashurst's values and what the role of a trainee requires for the SJT bit (because they assess...

    Hi all, I have an AC next week and one of the tasks is a situational interview. From my understanding, the partner will give me a situation they’re working on or a legal trend/hot topic to understand my thought process on finding a solution and advice for a client. Would appreciate any tips on...

    Okay, thank you! I will try to reschedule the interview again. The vacation scheme is during the easter holidays, so would you still recommend waiting for Monday? For context, the starting date is the 14th of April.

    Hi Jessica, Unfortunately, I have already rescheduled the interview already, so I don't think I could do it again. Sorry for the late reply. I was waiting for the early careers to get back to me, as they had mentioned to me, before reaching out for further advice. However, I have not yet...

    Hey everyone, Just reaching out to see if anyone could share their opinion or insights. I just received a call today from a firm offering me a vac scheme (mid tier city firm I would say). But unfortunately the first day clashes with my final round interview at a MC firm. I let early careers...

    Hey guys, just wanna reach out for some advice. I had a TI with a firm today, and the next stage is a two-day AC. Unfortunately, the first day of AC clashes with my interview with SM, but the first day is just an unassessed insight day to prepare us for the next day, so I might be able to miss...
