CLIFFORD CHANCE 2024 TC OFFER!!!!!!!!

Huge congrats! Have you had a follow up email from grad rec yet with details / contract etc?

 

[littlecat]

I emailed the grad recruitment team and they said they were still considering applications which seems odd!

Is this for DLA Piper or Taylor Wessing?

I think DLA finished all its ACs, TW are still considering apps (I emailed GR).

pwc vi!

If I remembered correctly, in the last cycle they asked competency and situational questions with around 1 minute to prep and around 2-3 minutes to deliver your answer. Also there was a presentation-ish task where you need to analyse the client's business with 10min to prepare and present in 4 or 5 minutes.

I could only remember very vaguely cuz I was really bummed knowing I messed up the VI. Not completely sure abt the arrangement this year, hope this will help!

I got the TC offer from Clifford Chance !!!!! I am in shock and tears.

Hello! Does anyone know what the PWC video interview is like? Any tips on how to prep would be greatly appreciated, as I haven’t done this before! Thanks in advance

 

[Nicole15]

If it helps, last year I got an interview invite for early March and I submitted back in October- they do take a while to choose people because they only take 100ish through to interview. So don't worry!!!

Thanks for this!

 

[nrca201]

they told me they would next week

Ah brilliant - congrats!

PFO From Birketts

So sorry to hear this! Sorry to ask, but what office did you apply to?

 

[CorporateLaw101]

Has anyone applied to Cooley in the past? If so, how long did it take to receive next stage or PFO?

 

[TCApp2021]

Has anyone applied to KPMG Law?

I’ll double check but I think I made a note of structure and questions after my VI last year - will dig it out and PM you if I find anything useful!!

[LawfulRust00]

Does anyone know how long Fladgate take to get back to candidates after the Jan 31st deadline?

I’ve been invited to the AC for the KPMG Tax GMS Technology programme- it falls under Tax & Law but is an ATT qualification rather than TC/SQE. Not sure if GR will allow me to change this to the KPM Law programme instead?
