Clifford Chance TC

Hi guys, I was a non-priority and applied right on the deadline (10th December). If it helps anyone, I received the virtual interview invite on Friday (and the WG test passing notif the day before).

Good to hear that they are progressing non-priority candidates! I similarly applied closer to the deadline (7th of December). Congratulations on the interview! I'm sure you'll smash it!

Haha thanks man, let's see how it goes. I am not too stressed about this though ngl, whatever the outcome is I should be fine. Btw, may I know what actually is an AC (like everyone referring this acronym)? Also what's the odd of getting a TC from attending the Virtual Assessment? Like how many people get the chance to attend the Virtual Assessment, is it in thousands?

AC stands for assessment centre :)

Ayyyy well done! Doing TCLA proud! I had the AC last year so let me know if you need any advice :)
Thank you so much, that would be so helpful! I booked a slot at 10th of Feb for the AC. May I know (for the sake of being proactive haha), what can I do to prep for the commercial interview except from doing the Virtual Internships. Also, do we have to do any group presentation? As per the AC invite email, the assessment day will follow the structure outlined below:
  • Candidate Briefing with Graduate Recruitment where you will receive further instructions on what to expect on the day
  • Individual timed written exercise (Is there any place where can practice these case studies)
  • One 75 minute interview with a Partner and Senior Associate (What should I expect here apart from Commercial awareness)

Yeah I am also waiting to hear back (non - priority) Final year law students. I am so confused.. have they forgotten about us??

Thing is, a lot of rejections came around on the 18th and 14th. Don't know what to expect anymore. It may be because I applied for the Middle East TC, but the applications are considered simultaneously I believe. Anyways, I feel as though we may hear from them either within the few coming days, or after the Christmas holiday. Either way, I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
