I may be wrong but I think Akin Gump are now just known as Akin.

Taylor wessing written exercise and RPC AC! So happy and excited! If anyone has advice on either the AC or written exercises I would really really appreciate it. Everything is on the same week tho which is stressfullll
I think it’s probs Addleshaw cause they put London in brackets, and I don’t think Akin has any other UK offices/TC pathways. May be entirely wrong tho lol
To be fair, I was specifically referring to Gibson. I attended their first-year insight scheme last year, so what I’m saying comes directly from what they told us. They were very clear that the later you apply, the lower your chances of progressing because most VIs are sent early on. In fact, they started sending VIs last month. At this point, it’s not just about how talented you are—it’s about limited spots and the intense competition for what’s left.
If you’re a penultimate-year student, it might actually be smarter to wait and apply next year. By applying now, at such a competitive stage, and potentially being rejected, you risk being asked in the future if you’ve applied before, which may potentially hinder your progression... Again, I am only going by what the grad team said; yet again, we can all have diverging opinions on this matter. Some progress even if they apply to a rolling firm at the deadline, I agree, but when specifically talking about Gibson, the grad team literally told us this... Best of luck anyway!

Any advice on how to answer these questions for? :
1. If you could invent a new product or technology that does not currently exist, what would it be and why? (250 max)
2. Please declare if you have used Artificial Intelligence in your application, and if so, how this has been employed? (100 max）(this is for Covington and I have used grammarly but I don't know if that counts)
Thank you!

Does anyone know where I can access sample M&A case studies (preferably worked examples)? Thanks xx
Same!! Also any written case study advice would be much appreciated! I’ve found some but they are like £70 each 🥲.
Literally just apply lad, I’d always be sceptical with people dissuading you from making applications within the deadline. At the end of the day, you lose nothing in sending it off🫶🏾
Heya congrats! when did u apply for RPC- I applied a while ago and can’t remember if this is the round directly after an initial application?
