Please upload your Personal Statement in a pdf or Microsoft Word format.Is there a word Limit for the Freshfields personal statement? - I can’t see a reference to it but want to double check in case I have missed it.
My statement is 871 words and I am finding it difficult making it shorter.
It will need to be 850 words.Is there a word Limit for the Freshfields personal statement? - I can’t see a reference to it but want to double check in case I have missed it.

Hi, firstly well done! Could you let me know when you applied by any chance? thank youHi, if anyone has done a first-stage interview with MoFo before any tips would really be appreciated!
I'm still waiting to hear too - has anyone else heard from Birketts (London office)?Has anyone heard back from birketts or knows of anyone who has? Apparently some received an email last Friday saying it was being reviewed by partners however I didn’t receive such an email myself. Feeling a Pfo is heading my way.
Looks like that option is there if you want to upload/replace the file. Once you upload your file, it should show the file but greyed out.Did anyone else see "try another" when submitting their personal statement for Freshfields? Is that a problem?
Surely Weil get back to us tomorrow 😭
Those getting to Freshfields AC already are you on some form of fast track because the email I got says that the new online assessment stage will be sent out 27 January.
May I ask if this iwas an automatic email from Candid right after you submitted your application?Yeah same lol
Personally, I look into the focus of the firm, explain what the firms focus is, who their competitors are, but why they are have a comeptitve edge (even if they don't lol). For example, if I was at Covington. (I might give wrong info I didnt apply for them). Firms focus is life sciences. Key competitors can include Cooley (again im not sure). However, the covington is able to stands out in this crowd because its experience in xyz demosntrated by xyz.does anyone have any idea how to structure an answer to the question "what are xyz's competitors?" in an interview?
would stating that the firm has band 1 rankings in xyz, and then naming any firm which also has a band 1 rankings in those areas as competitors be a good way of structuring an answering? so for example, if a firm has a band 1 ranking in infrastructure, and so do 5 other firms, would it be correct to say those firms are competitors because they all have band 1 rankings in infrastructure?Personally, I look into the focus of the firm, explain what the firms focus is, who their competitors are, but why they are have a comeptitve edge (even if they don't lol).

I am not entirely sure- this is how i would approach it. If anyone has any other ideas please propose them.
If I didn't get Goodwin VI, am I cooked? Also, what if I didn't get Akin TI?
Oh wow congrats! Didn’t know they’re still reviewing apps!Gibson Dunn first stage interview! Applied 29 Nov
I didn't realise they were, but under the impression they r working backwards through the apps lol- because people who applied closer to the deadline seemed to have heard earlier than people who applied earlier on- but then again this is a guess lolOh wow congrats! Didn’t know they’re still reviewing apps!
