Anyone heard back from WBD yet? I know they said they’ll be replying mid-week this week but I feel so impatient

Someone I know was offered a TC this morning for Southampton office. I'm still waiting to hear back from them.

Anyone think it would be worthwhile asking HL grad rec about when we might hear back?

Agreed - we need a lot more info here! @NMA

Anyone still not heard back from W&C? I'm considering emailing to withdraw my app soon if I don't hear back as the Winter VS apps open soon...

Just received a phone call from Travers Smith for the first stage interview for their 2025 TC. Just a heads up for those that applied.

Did you get any follow-up email?

 

[the english lawyer]

got the farrer tc offer!!

I have the NRF TI coming up shortly. Any advice would be appreciated. What kind of Qs should I expect?

Just the usual. You can make an educated guess. The email tells you it's a mix of motivation and Comm Awareness and it is - maybe practise in a call with a friend so you are used to the feeling? You'd expect about 4 q's in 20 mins. Good luck, smile, keep your notes and a glass of water to hand...

Thanks! I applied a day or two after they opened up applications. It was a 1h video interview with one partner.

Hi does anyone know if you miss a call from Travers Smith if they leave a voicemail or send an email? I had a missed call from an unknown number this morning however has been unable to reach the number when I try to phone back. I am a bit worried it may have been them.

They normally leave a voicemail, asking you to call them back

I was in the same situation last year! They didn't leave a voicemail for me but then did email a day or two later to invite me to interview.
