Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

[Olivia Graham]

Congrats Olivia! Can I ask when your AC was?

Thank you! It was 13th Feb.

 

[Tcapplicant]

Anyone else not heard anything from Mishcon?

 

[Legallygrace]

BLM AC! This will be my first one I’m so nervous! Any advice ?

Quick question: If you are offered a TC following a successful vac scheme this summer - when would you start the LPC?

September 2021 if you want to be with your TC intake for 2022, but I suppose you could start this Sep and have a year in between if you wanted!

Thank you Alice, and if I am currently employed, will I need to leave my job for the vac scheme? (conflict of interest)??

 

[S87]

No you do not need to. But under the SRA rules you cannot work on the matters that your firm is involved because of conflict of interests. Plus you really ruin your career..but the law firm should be aware of this. Be sure to raise any concerns..for example I was called for a project and when I opened the files I realised that I worked for the counterpart on another project and had to leave. Man it was hard as I gave up £30 per day..

Hi guys, was wondering if anyone has heard from Trowers regarding the summer VS yet?

I think that can depend on the firm. Some prefer you to do it with the rest of your intake whereas others aren't fussed.

Random timing question: Do the full-time non-accelerated LPCs in London end in May, and if so, do most TCs start right after in June or do they make you wait until September to started?

Anyone heard back from Hill Dickinson (for the London office), Travers Smith, or Reed Smith (post-research questions)??

I think it's worth adding to the above for all those hustling, I've been applying to firms for six years so keep at it and you all will get there!
