Hello, please does anyone have any experience with White & Case's partner interview? I applied for a direct TC but I'll appreciate any experience. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

Event season is upon us and just wanted to give you guys a heads up that legal cheek have got a few coming up shortly which may be of interest. Make sure your CVs are up to date as you require these to make an app and I think most of them ask you to submit questions to the panel. I am attending the Clifford Chance one this Thursday (5th) and it would be great to see/meet some of you there!

Since it's almost the start of a new academic year, I do notice that lots of events are coming up. Just a suggestion - it will be great if we can have a compilation of events coming up with details on dates and times, firms attending, and/or organisations hosting. This might help those with different commitments to decide which one to attend/they can attend or share their insights post-attendance.

I think that would be really useful! It may also be useful updating the forum with a list of firms that have now opened their application window / deadlines

    Aspiring Solicitors also have a lot of events up at the moment, including ones with A&O and BCLP. I think these are due to close soon and the events take place in October.

    Thanks guys - would you prefer this within the forum or as a separate events page?

    Seems like the forum thread might work. It would be great if we can get the events listed chronologically to allow people to click into/view those events of their interest or availability straightaway.

    Great, I'll create this soon.

    What kind of events are we looking for? I assume Legal Cheek/Firm events and open days - any others I'm missing? Would you want to see specific events from organisations like AS?

    I think AS events could be a good addition. They might not work for everyone but I’m sure enough people would find it beneficial.

    What do others think?

    I had to present on a topic. After that, the interview generally revolved around my motivations and my extracurricular activities. I wasn't asked any competency questions. You then get to ask questions at the end.

    Hey my portal hasnt updated since applied and SJT on 12 August. I’m thinking about emailing them because they said it would only be 21 days.

    might be worth a shot asking when ACs are being held from given that I have not seen any posts about invites being sent out. Did you apply for the winter vac?
