Hey everyone,

I was wondering, for those who have heard back from Kirkland and have already had their interview post-AC day- do you have any tips on the interview at all? I will very happily trade information on HSF, Slaughter and May, White and Case, Norton Rose Fulbright, Akin Gump :).

    For the partner interview, generally its good to know a lot about PE and technical terms (e.g. leveraged finance, debt v equity). Also be prepared for it to be intense, but then and again it is Kirkland & Ellis. They asked me about my grades. Also be prepared to explain why Kirkland in comparison to other firms you have applied for. Main thing -> be honest, they can smell bs.

    Hey, what sort of questions do they ask in the Norton Rose interview?
