does anyone who has done the Mayer Brown simulation/VI have any advice/insight? just trying to gauge how much research on the firm is required to answer the VI questions - whether there are any motivational questions in the mix or if they're strictly related to the simulation

Hi there,

I am unsure about MB's VI in particular, but I have linked Andrei's guide to VIs to give you more guidance - https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....de-for-competency-interview-preparation.9380/

Hi;
I just have a question regarding the Osborne Clarke application. I am writing the question where you have to choose between two options. They mention a team hire. As a non native English speaker I am confused about what this means. Does it mean a teame hires one person or that they hire an entire team?
Thank you

Hi there,

Could you provide more details on the full question please? Perhaps I'll be able to advise more from there ;)

Amazing. I sent off an application and in a rush I didnt put the % of my grades for each of my years at University. How likely do you think this will impact the success of being invited to the next round.

Hii, I am wondering if anyone is thinking about applying for Freshfield's London Asia TC? I didn't find much information about it so would really appreciate if someone could refer to some relevant resources:)
