Nothing for me either since I submitted the application 🤔

Has anyone heard from Greenberg Traurig? I know they say if you haven't heard by the 28th you have been unsuccessful but just wondering if anyone has heard back yet?

Anyone heard from Clyde&Co post online assessment for summer scheme?

 

[alicebloom]

Anyone heard anything re CC SPARK scheme? My portal updated yesterday but still nothing

for a question with a 5000 character limit (around 800 words) i’m not sure if i’ll be able to get near filling the word count. Would that be detrimental?

Anyone eligible to start a TC this year - L&W has just opened Direct TC for 2022 & 23

Do they recruit on a rolling basis? I can submit an application soon but might as well wait for the PGDL results that will be out in two weeks to include them...

non-rolling.

I have a small issue. I applied to Latham & Watkins direct TC and in the confirmation, it says that I’ve been assigned a behaviour test and that I should log back into the portal and complete it. But when I log back in, there’s nothing there. What do I do?

My friend applied and last month they told her that she would hear back after the 10th January

Just email grad rec and attach a screenshot of the portal.

I do not think so as long as you show your interest and knowledge of the firm.

Anyone know how long you have to wait after Stephenson Harwood written assessment to hear back?

[lawcurious]

Anyone know where to start when pitching a prospective client to a firm?

Some factors to consider:

- What are the firm's strengths or fast-growing practice areas?
- What industries might need more of that expertise in the jurisdictions the firm operates in?
- Are the client's major competitors already clients of the firm (if so, that might make working for them tricky in some instances)
- Apart from revenue, what other benefits could the client bring to the firm?

I have been waiting since 19th January. Have emailed and they said to be patient. I think they're going to compile them all and then decide...

Interesting. Do you think it’s worth applying for their direct TC if you’ve been rejected for their VS post-app in the same the cycle? @Jessica Booker

I'd check their policy on reapplying - but if there are no restrictions, then yes, I'd apply.

I'd try to get to around at least 650 words if you can.

Gateley Assessment Centre!! I am having a rollercoaster of a week after my rejection on Monday 😅 (Manchester office for anyone still waiting to hear - completed the VI end of Jan!)
