Yes, a few received AC invites yesterday

So is it a PFO if we didn't hear?

Hopefully not. Some people have their TIs today

Has anyone heard from Hogan? Or know when we can expect a reply? Should we assume we passed the WG if it’s been a month and there’s no rejection here (or am i delulu)

Got a PFO on the 14th of August.

I think if you haven’t heard back it means you passed the WG and they are assessing your application further. I think we will hear in the next two weeks or so

yep, still waiting.. supposedly, we should hear by the end of tomorrow - i think someone on this thread called grad rec and that's what they told them

Is it normal for law firms to give TC offers after the PGDL starts? I thought they'd decide beforehand since they recruit 2 years in advance and sponsor a lot of people through the PGDL, but that would only give them just over 2 weeks to decide?

This can be fairly normal for firms who recruit in the summer window. It’s why a lot of firms have a winter recruitment window though to try and avoid these situations.

I remember seeing that a few people received PFO’s a couple of weeks ago, haven’t seen anything since then

Anything from SH post case study?

 

[jomar]

Incoming 2025 trainee here. Reading the PGDL this year (23/24) and SQE next (24/25).

Now that I signed with my firm, I want to get some in-house experience as a summer law intern before I start.

Does anyone know where to find summer internships in house? Also, when would in-house firms begin posting for these types of internships?
