@Andrei Radu @Amma Usman
Do you think a 2021 deal is too old to mention, even if its exactly the type of work you want to do and there's no more recent examples on the firm's website?

Thanks a lot!

Hearing anything from W&C is impressive, congrats! I applied for their Winter Vac and still haven't heard anything despite the programme starting already🤣

Hi
I am trying to answer the question : Please introduce yourself and tell us why you wish to pursue a legal career at Northridge.

I was wondering what would be expected in the introduce myself section as I have not encountered this type of wording before.
If someone can give me any indication I would really appreciate it.

Hello, is there a question bank anywhere for strength and competency questions for ACs?

@Amma Usman @Andrei Radu @Ram Sabaratnam I would be super grateful if you could give insights into what types of questions and what essential points a good answer would contain to do well in an AC Thank you very much!

HSF PFO - I feel it has to do with academic requirements.
I have terrible A-level grades but got a 2:1 at uni (with inconsistent grades throughout the 3 years) and did the LPC. Also, have a fair amount of paralegal experience.
Is it still worth making new TC/Vac Scheme apps???

@Jessica Booker @Andrei Radu @Amma Usman. I am applying to Trowers & Hamlin's London office. One of their questions asks for a commercial story that I found interesting and how it relates to Trowers. I wanted to talk about foreign investment in the Middle - East as I know Trowers has large presence there. Would it be a bad idea to talk about this because it is not specifically about the London office. The question does not say it has to be office specific. I just thought it showed my interest in their global strategy.

Got a PFO from HSF's summer vac scheme post-test, so I think no news is good news

[jacksollaf]

Currently in the same situation!
