The best for entering elite careers.

Methods and How We Work

We teach the answers that win offers.

Capacity and Philosophy

We work with a maximum of 30 families per year across our 1-to-1 advisory programmes.

This small intake protects delivery quality, outcome consistency, and the discretion our clients expect.

Some clients are under NDA, so photographs or videos are not always possible. Where permitted, we indicate visuals clearly.
We actively decline candidates who are not suitable for the rigour or timelines of the process.
For clients under 25, family engagement is strongly encouraged — outcomes improve when parents or sponsors are part of the journey.
Every family receives a copy of our Client Admission Process document, which sets expectations and defines success standards.

What Isn’t a Barrier

No background in corporate law or investment banking — we build this from first principles.
University or course studied — irrelevant to admission.
Non-target schools — no disadvantage whatsoever.

Lack of prior exposure is never a reason for rejection. These skills are taught.

If academic pedigree truly dictated employability, we would only serve Oxbridge or LSE clients. It does not. Modern recruiting rewards clarity, evidence, and precision — all coachable.

Academic Note (Tier-1 US Law Firms)

We generally look for 65%+ averages (2:1 equivalent).
Mitigating circumstances apply.
Strong academics help, but they are not the differentiator — execution and proof are.

What We Assess — Admission Scorecard

Criterion Weight

What it means

Coachability

40 %

Implements feedback precisely; iterates to standard within ≤3 revisions.

Time & Capacity

25 %

Consistent 6–8 hrs/week; meets 48–72 h task turnaround.

Growth Mindset

20 %

Learns fast; integrates firm-specific facts in every PEAL-X™ sentence.

Communication

10 %

Clear, concise, punctual.

Integrity

10 %

Honest data; verified academic record.

Example:

We once required an applicant to redraft a single application nine times before sign-off.

Drafts 1–3 → structure built using PEAL-X™ (every sentence anchored to a firm fact)
Drafts 4–6 → evidence depth + metrics (VTMR™)
Drafts 7–8 → tone, chronology, deal precision
Draft 9 → submission standard (clarity + firm-specific evidence)

Outcome later reported: interview progression. We do not claim causality; we claim standards.

Compliance & Ethics

Interview-safe only: no vendor tests, no ghost-writing.
No guarantees of outcome.
Public statements follow consent tiers (A +/ A only).
Case studies are anonymised and published only with written consent.
Some outcomes derive from clients who first engaged through free content, demonstrating the continuity and impact of our paid systems.
Micro-disclaimer: Historical outcomes; candidate statements used with permission where applicable. Third-party names and marks appear for context only — no affiliation or endorsement. Results vary.
Some clients operate under confidentiality or NDA, which limits the imagery and testimonials we can share publicly.
Where imagery is available, it is clearly indicated and used with permission.
Case studies are anonymised, permissioned, and reflect either paid advisory or free-content outcomes to evidence educational impact.
