HSF Summer AC invite
if I get rejected from S&C for the VS can I still apply for the TC? I know firms like W&C do it so Sullivan may as well
I have just seen someone on LinkedIn get an offer for a summer vac scheme for Linklaters!!! If this is true, waiting 5-6 weeks for rejection is so cruel.
Does anyone who has attended (or is attending) HSF’s AC have any insights? Already putting the pressure on myself as know it’s very commercial heavy and feel this is something I need to brush up on.
What exactly do the case study/scenario interviews entail, and what’s the best way to prepare? If anyone has any guidance, it would be greatly appreciated (and I can offer an insight on W&C in return)

Hi, I used to find this a tough question too. You definitely need to find some clear examples of the firm engaging in whatever work you choose to talk about, but it doesn't have to be one specific deal or piece of client work. Even if they don't talk about a specific piece of advice, they will definitely talk about capabilities that they have on the firm's website and often will write up articles on topics that they advise clients on. Also worth thinking about the firm's core practice areas and what are the main issues in those practices, then work backwards to find info about the firm doing work in those areas.
No tests just a straight invite
they called me too before emailing meOh yeah the 4th one is like any other info relevant to the app, but i just thought they'd want to know just in case
I don’t think there’s much you can do to prep for group exercises, general advice for the day would be to make sure you contribute, but don’t be the only one who speaks, so listen to what other people have to say. If there’s anyone that isn’t speaking much maybe ask if they have anything to add but don’t be pushy. People say being timekeeper shows good leadership, but if you offer to do this make sure you actually remind the team about timing.
It’s all pretty straightforward, I think they’re mostly just testing how you work with other people. I haven’t done a CMS AC but for other group exercises I’ve done the content hasn’t been very difficult, it’s good to add commercial awareness where you can, but also just common sense things too.
Good luck!
hi, congrats firstly! <33 I havent had any experience w hsf but if ure a law student its best to brush up on contract law, ive heard they can get quite technical as well generally (was speaking to a mentor and he said one of the qs his friends got asked like a cycle or two ago was 'how do you set up a hedge fund?')Does anyone who has attended (or is attending) HSF’s AC have any insights? Already putting the pressure on myself as know it’s very commercial heavy and feel this is something I need to brush up on.

anyone have tips for freshfields AC? can provide insight into jones day/slaughters/weil in return and have a number of applications that have been successful otherwise
Thank you so much and oh god, I’d be completely lost 😭 Looks like I better start preparing!
