    Anyone who applies to Pinsent Masons London still waiting to hear back? Not sure if I should contact grad rec since many people seem to have heard back or just wait
    Will you let me know if you get an email later? Starting to worry, as they had technical issues with emails as well last week with the log in details to give me. Anyway, best of luck!

    AHHHH, Reed Smith AC invite for Spring Vac!!!! If anyone has any tips about Reed Smith AC's or AC's in general (as this is my first), would be much appreciated :D :D
    You must be one of the first to hear. I did an AC there last cycle. The interview is composed of two parts. A strengths-based assessment and then a case study which you get an hour to read and prep for. Was pretty straight forward. Make sure you give examples, even though you aren't prompted, to back up the strengths. That's what let me down.

    Thanks Ricky for the help! Do you know if the strengths interview is with Grad Recruitment or Partners/Associates? Congrats on your Macfarlanes VS offer as well :cool:

    Both parts were with the same two people: a partner and HR. There was also a small mark-up exercise in the case study as well.
