It would be a great help if someone could update about Gowling WLG? If anyone heard from them regarding the VI? How they gotten back to anyone? If possible could someone please tell what’s the usual timeline in which they inform if one is invited for the VI?

heya

in the email it said this - 'If your application meets the benchmark required, you will be invited to complete the video interview on Thursday 12 December 2024.'

The video interview can't be on just one day unless it's a live interview, so I think they mean they'll send invites on that day.

It sounds like they will send out rejections and VI invites on the 12th

Does anyone know if Slaughters sends rejection emails promptly or if they leave us hanging? I applied Oct 16th and still haven’t heard back.

From past experience they will email you but will take their time

Does anyone know if Fieldfisher invitation to online assessment is automatic or whether it is after an initial review of the application?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. I have some extra time to allocate to applications.Does anyone know of a private equity law firm that has no A-level requirements. Already applied to Paul Weiss, Willkie and Jones Day.

Nov 28. What about you? Also, isn’t VI on Dec 12? If they haven’t gotten back till now, I think we will hear from them soon like in a day or two maybe.

I applied on Nov 20. Wasn't the deadline at Nov 20? But anyway, ssame as you, no reply as well.

Hi everyone, just had a quick question. Does anyone know how much emphasis Debevoise places on academics? The application is extremely time consuming and I dont want to invest so much time and energy only to be rejected because of shitty A-Levels. Would really appreciate the help!
