Morgan Lewis PFO, appreciate that they didn’t just ghost me and atleast sent me a rejection email. A very expected outcome

I am very sorry, may I ask you if this is after the app or the AC?

Does anyone have a list of applications which have now opened for the next cycle? Or know which firms have recently opened up applications for either VS, Open Days or TCs?

 

[Noodles]

Are Addleshaw Goddard just ghosting now?

 

[kmo20]

In interviews that are application blind will the interviewer know if you are a law or non-law student?

Which firm does that?

Hi there is a thread on TCLA for that https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....es-2023-24-training-starting-2026.7903/unread

Thanks Jessica. I was 100% when I applied and even up to the video interview but now I’m not so sure. I’ve failed around 10 ACs at other firms over a few years though and feel as though this is the only chance I’ll get.

It will be a risk you will have take if you were to accept the role then. I understand why people may not be sure, especially if the opportunity or the firm is not their first choice, but it will be more difficult to switch at any point later on where the programmes are designed to give you specialist experience.

If Hogan Lovells post ONE MORE TIKTOK I’m gonna report them. They need to spend their time reviewing applications instead omg

Does anyone know what the latest date law firms could get back to us by for 2025 training contract offers? Would it be before the ULAW and BPP courses start?

not necessarily (unfortunately) - sometimes I can be later than this as typically it’s only non law grads who would need to start courses this September.

Slightly confused so if anyone could offer insight it would be great- the Clyde's paralegal academy deadline closed a few days ago but they haven't sent a assessment link. I searched online and it seems people did the VI and assessments in March April time, but when the app was open when I applied. Do I just need to wait for the link or did I completely miss out?

 

[Wise66]

Has anyone heard from Hogan Lovells??

Not yet, still waiting post Watson Glaser.
