Now assuming it's a PFO from Eversheds

I wouldn't be so sure, I haven't actually seen anyone say that they've received a response yet. It could just be that they had more applications than expected. Never a PFO until the email comes through!

Does anyone have an email address for Hogan Lovells grad rec? Wanting to find out WG score

Have you received a response from them regarding the outcome of your WG?

Anyone knows how long does it take to get a reply from Macfarlanes (direct tc)?

 

[lawcurious]

Do people know CC's application dates for next cycle? Last year it started by early august but they haven't updated website and I'm not so sure where to check other than email grad rec

I'd expect it within two weeks. Last year they got back to me the first week of August, but I applied early then.

Do they let us know the scores alone?

 

[Abgaal]

I have just emailed HL about WG test score - usually they give out peoples test score. But they replied back saying that they’re going to get back to people next week in regards to their app and test score.. so yeah

 

[moxiebobo]

Haven’t heard anything from FF post-WG, should I assume it’s a PFO as some AC invites have already been sent out

when did you do WG?

 

[lawstudent444]

when did you do WG?

Thursday night I think

 

[BM99]

Maybe they send out batches of AC invites at the end of the week and they still need a bit of time to consider your application?

Invitation to BCLP first stage interview! Any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated as I’m completely new to the whole process

I also noticed it said TC commencing 2023 but I’m sure I applied to 2024, I’m going to contact them anyway to confirm but wondered if anyone else had this? Thank you!

Thank you! Yeah for London

Firstly, I would start by looking at areas where the firm has offices located (won't look too good if you suggest somewhere they already have an office), then secondly I would find some international commercial news relating to a practice area in which the firm specialises. For example, if you find an article talking about the growth of fintech in Nigeria, and the firm you're applying to specialises in innovation / financial services, you'll be able to justify your choice.

thank you so much!! this is so helpful

Lovely people,
How do I explain in 50 words why I want the job and firm? I am oiled like to explain that I have the necessary skills but I am stuck on why the firm. May be the career prospects but seems a bit too long term.
