V&E yet anyone?

Just got a call from ‘No Caller ID’ thinking it might be them and instead it was someone attempting to sell me life insurance

Hello, does anyone have any info on the conversion rate of a Dentons vac scheme to TC? Or any stats relating to the percentages they take in via Vac scheme and TC? Thanks!

Have you heard that they’ve completed a merger with Clyde and Co today! I’m not sure if that would make a difference to your application…

started a part time role as a nanny for this family only to discover that the mum is a partner at a firm im doing a summer vacation scheme with. she told me where she works but i haven’t yet told her i’m doing the scheme at her firm in the summer.

should i let her / grad rex know? is there a conflict of interest issue somewhere? initially intended to not mention it but also might be a bit awks if we bump into eachother in her office this summer

100% you should disclose. You’d get into real hot water if she interviewed you for the TC and that was the firm time she saw you and would have to excuse herself. Doesn’t mean you can’t intern there but they do need to make sure the appropriate checks are put in place for there not to be a conflict of interest.

I’d let the mum know.

There’s no conflict of interest unless you are still working for them at the time of the scheme. And even then there might not be one.

I don’t think there is any stress/issue here. Just would be odd to not let the Mum know. She’d feel a bit odd about it if she bumped into you in the office.

Grad Rec don’t need to know unless you continue to work for the partner.

Shoosmiths PFO for VS London.

The email came with "We want you to know that, although your application didn't meet the requirements to progress to the next stage this time, we would really like you to stay engaged with Shoosmiths, as we can see real potential in your application".

Has anyone else received this?

I received that last year

 

[Legalmel_99]

Clyde co already have their vac scheme offers out too so it makes sense why blm took so long to respond to people

Is the end date of your degree on applications forms the day you graduate or the day of your final exam?

 

[GXA123]

Is Shoosmiths rolling for TCs?

I got an invite to do a behavioural test for Latham & Watkins one day after sending in my application. Does every applicant get this invitation or is it because I got to the next stage?
