Day 16: still no response from W&C...

Theres a law career's fair on Monday at the uni, a few firms i'm interested in will be there. I kind of want to go but, i don't really know what to ask.

Also, is anybody applying for the NRF open day?

Has anyone received a rejection from Ashurst post case-study? On the other hand has anyone received an invite to the final stage interview post case-study? I havent heard back from Ashurst and im taking it as a rejection as they said they would get back latest yesterday....
Yeah I’m in the same boat - told me latest 21st Oct, still nothing post written assessment

I have quoted bellow here some posts I wrote detailing both (i) my further research sources beyond the ones you mentioned; and (ii) my thinking process in determining what to look out for when trying to analyse a firm's practice areas beyond Chambers/Legal 500 rankings. I think you may find them quite useful. In conjunction, I feel they encapsulate the basic research "theory" I relied on when working as a Law Firm Profile Writer for TCLA, and which enabled me to write profiles like the Davis Polk one. However, please do let me know if you have any other questions about researching firms in general, or researching DPW in particular.
Thank you, Andrei. this is really helpful!
