Hi! Sorry to hear about your PFO I have a PM AC at the end of the month coming up. Do you have any tips on what you would’ve done differently or on how the AC was in general?

Only knew myself because I saw someone else talk about it hahaha! I imagine they processed those candidates first, now that’s done they sent the wave of PFOs today and maybe some good news soon for us

I bloody well hope so! Fingers crossed for us both!

Hey everyone! With all this talk of interest rates and the technical recession the UK fell into at the end of 2023, would somebody be able to explain the impact of this on law firms? Or guide me to the right direction regarding the same?

Hiii everyonee! wanted to ask if anyone else is still waiting on Stephenson Harwood post app for summer vac?

 

[Mike Wazaoski]

How do people prepare for the written exercises of law firm assessment centres? Are there any good resources you have found helpful. Usually these include drafting an email.

Potentially link it to the impacts on clients of law firms by industry/ sector:

- Consumer and manufacturing: Low spending by customers can mean lower revenue for businesses. This can impact spending by the business on either R&D, growing their supply chain, bold business decisions will be limited with less trust and security in the economy.
- Counter-cyclical practice areas: Businesses downscale and remove employees could mean demand for employment lawyers increases. Where they are restructuring their operations this can require increased demand in restructuring and insolvency practices.

Mishcon holding email after video interview gave me a little heart attack

What did the email say?

I wonder if not getting the email could mean a PFO incoming?

 

[Bubbles]

Email from Irwin Mitchell was just their weekly employment Law update newsletter.. got a heart attack

Guys does anyone have any experience with FlexLegal? I am thinking about applying and I would be grateful if anyone wants to send me a PM so I could hear more about their experiences with the platform (what type of work do you usually undertake, what type of clients are you usually seconded to, etc)
