Amazing - congrats. Did you get an email or call?

Has anyone else heard back from TS?

Does anyone have any experience doing the Taylor Wessing online assessment? Would hugely appreciate any tips!

Has anyone else heard back from TS?

They called me like 20 minutes ago.

Hoping you hear back soon!

But if not, don’t worry - it could literally be a case of trying to interview as many as possible, hence the quick turnaround. They may actively be reaching out to people to fill slots up as and when they arise.

Does anyone know if non-law graduates can apply to Addleshaw Goddard's vacation scheme? In the info section it states: "The placement scheme is open to all second year law students and above or final year non-law students" - does this mean that graduates are excluded?

These have been paused for the moment while the TCLA review the newsletter. We are expecting it to be back in a new form next week!

Thank you for clarifying. Do you know if it will still be sent out on a Wednesday?

There is no way they gave you a day! Surely not!

That’s genuine outrageous if they did

ETA: the shortest time I’ve been given is 5 days and the longest is 3 weeks. 1 day is absolutely outrageous lol

Nice. I'm guessing I might have got a PFO then.

Does anyone know how my application will be completed for linklaters if it is saying I need to complete the WG but I have already completed it last month for the open day?

I emailed grad rec as maybe they have changed the requirement this year and we can take the test again, but I am yet to hear back.

It's over a week away tbf, so I wouldn't assume that yet.

White & Case VI and Dechert VI back to back…

Not going to lie, definitely surprised considering I have BCC at A-Level but guess there’s a little hope.

P.S - DLA did not respond, so I contacted cappfinity instead - they managed to reset it from the back-end. Account got locked due to a password error. Peak.

Hello! Have you found your a levels to affect your success rate? Talking purely for the firms that have a level requirements. I got ABC at a level and no mitigating circumstances and I have deliberately not applied to firms that have a criteria but maybe I should apply anyway?

Edit: sorry I know you posted this a while ago
