Hey when did you hear back? As most people on here are still waiting for any form of communication!
Hi! Did anyone attend Clifford Chance's Impactful Applications session that was held recently? I somehow missed it, would be grateful for any key pointers if anyone has noted them down 
they have more sessions happening - sign up here: https://careers.cliffordchance.com/london/clifford-chance-events-hub/skill-session-series.htmlHi!

Looks like the app insight session will be running again 12th Oct
Hi guys, what do we think are the generally relevant 'broad brush' commercial issues right now? I'm thinking oil and gas/energy prices, inflation/consumer appetite, economic downturn (e.g. production in China), tech stocks coming down.
This is all I can think of at the moment - is there anything else that people think is a 'everyone should know topic', e.g. like collapse of the high street and Brexit, COVID etc were? Avoiding war because I don't think it's something that would be mentioned in interview...
Hopefully this can be helpful for all of us preparing for ACs!

If you are applying to firms who focus on corporate/finance, then also consider ESG (including the growing measurement and transparency of it) and also how technology is impacting the financial sector - for instance cryptocurrencies and the like.
Regulation and it’s trends is also something to be aware of, especially with the new Tory cabinet really emphasising how they will deregulate a lot of things to make it easier to do business.
Ah I didn't think of regulation at all - thank you, Jessica! Prepping for a written exercise so want to have all the big topics for clients/firms down for the day
Myanmar was bought up in my most recent interview... Don't ask, stumped me a bit.
But I suppose just read the headlines of a broadsheet paper and analyse how it could have ramifications for a law firm and the business they conduct..
The sharp decline of the pound and the resultant effect this would have upon imports/exports, something I saw in the FT recently.
Same, have u been allocated a date yet cause they said it could be this wk and I haven’t yet.
Oh wow, guess I'll be prepping conflict issues too haha
Thanks re the currency, that's a good one!
Day 30 without a response from Trowers, I may pack up and move into the lobby of their office 😅
