Anyone heard anything from Kennedys post-app or Irwin Mitchell post-VI?

Is there any news from HFW? Applied in December, haven’t heard back anything. I am aware they offered ACs but has anyone been offered the vac scheme already?

 

[clo224455]

Anything from Addleshaw Goddard London office?

 

[LehmanBrothersRiskManagementIntern]

Can you apply to Hogan Lovells TC if you already applied to the vac scheme within the same cycle?

“If your vacation scheme application is unsuccessful, you will need to wait until the following year (from September 2024) to complete a training contract or another vacation scheme application.”

For anyone wondering, saw this on their website

Does anyone know what K&L Gates is expecting in the cover letter? Everything has pretty much been covered by the questions and I am struggling to figure out what to include.

The cover letter is optional. I’m not sure you’re supposed to actually do it. I wasn’t going to it personally.

[Will123]

Anyone heard from WFW post VI?

 

[VMS]

Has anyone been able to find a list for Baker McKenzie's clients? One of their application questions involves knowing who their clients are but I can't find a list on their website, Chambers, Legal500 or Legal Cheek so I'm struggling rip!

 

[EllaClayton]

Anyone heard from WFW post VI?

I know there was an AC yesterday and my AC date is tomorrow, those were the only two dates available for me to select from so I assume they are doing invites in stages!

 

[scotstudent23]

I just heard back from Burness Paull; got an AC invitation. This will be my first one so I am absolutely bricking it hahaha.

Congrats!! Me too!! When is your AC?

For questions like this they are normally trying to get you to think about the types of clients at a firm. As for many firms they won’t be able to disclose their client list due to confidentiality.
I would suggest checking LinkedIn, twitter the firms insight pages and seeing what deals they have published. They will either refer directly to the client or the type of client so a major bank or maybe a big retailer.
From there you can then discuss the firms clients so for example Bakers represents bank so you can talk about what might effect banks and the type of work you could be expected to do etc (obviously this depends on the specific wording on the Q)
