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.
Then ofc look at some general trends affecting PE. You’re kind of lucky in the sense cos you know the areas of commercial awareness you may be tested on.
Yeah most likely I imagine they will ask about PE because that’s their main client base and focus in London. In my application I wrote about my interest in IPT transactions and antitrust as well. I’m not sure if I would become a debt finance lawyer but then again, never say never. I might even end up in tax or something lmao. 🤣
