My advice would be to really hone in on why you basically want to train at a PE powerhouse. I remember Paul saying at the open day that it’s likely that you’ll become a debt finance lawyer at the end of the training. So just make sure your reasonings are very convincing and fleshed out well.Thank you man I really appreciate it! 🙂
I am super nervous though because this is my first proper interview. I’ve only done short VI/TI so far which have 3-4 questions (Willkie and White & Case). I have no idea what to expect for Paul, Weiss. 🥲
Then ofc look at some general trends affecting PE and the firms clients. You’re kind of lucky in the sense cos you know the areas of commercial awareness you may be tested on.
