White & Case AC 🥳( tbh it’s just an interview and written excersize but I’ve been hearing people call it an AC) . Any tips would be VERY appreciated. Thanks in advance xx

congratulations - is this for the winter vacation scheme or TC?

Anyone not heard from Dechert post-written exercise? Assuming a PFO now - I did my written exercise 13 days ago

1. Back to back open day and online events
2. Law fair attendance
3. Deadline was 3 days ago
4. Small graduate recruitment team

If they haven’t given you a guide as to how long they’ll correspond an outcome post written exercise I’d assume they’re giving those who applied closer to the deadline a chance and may progress all successful applicants at the same time.

linklaters WVS offer today.... literally over the moon!!! was so impressed by everyone at the AC i'm really in shock.

one question - does anyone have advice re: securing accom in london for those two weeks? would rather not fork out so much £££ for a hotel, but not sure what the alternatives are. unfortunately have no friends/family in commutable distance of the office that would have a spare room
