Does anyone know if Hogan Lovells will open a shorter application window during the summer for direct TC (London)? I think they did this last year but I cannot remember if that was for outside of London.

I'm assuming they're waiting for Vac Schemes to be over before seeing what dregs they have left to offer us...

when does the vac scheme process end? Is this the norm?

Has anyone heard from Fieldfisher post the online test?

Has anyone else done the Fieldfisher test and not heard back since? I did it ages ago, sent a follow-up email and still haven't heard anything. Should I assume rejection?

same I haven’t heard either

@Jessica Booker Hi Jessica,
If I'm due to start my training contract in February 2027, do you have any idea of when would I start the SQE prep course?

I would speak to your firm about this as there could be flexibility if there are two trainee intakes a year and if you are available to start it sometime this year.

Have you already heard back? Why can’t they just send out rejection emails in time
