Hey guys! Does anyone know how long freshfields take to respond after a training contract assessment centre? I had one last week and haven't heard back yet so fearing the worst...

Anyone heard from BCLP for direct TC?

No, nothing at all. I applied at the end of a November.

Has anyone heard from Orrick (VS)?

Anyone heard from BCLP for direct TC?

I applied for both the vacation scheme and direct TC back in November. Haven’t heard back yet.

I applied 11th January and I’ve just emailed them to ask for an update

Can you please let us know what they say!

Has anyone else not heard from BCLP for the vac scheme? I applied in October and have emailed but nada!!

I applied on deadline day and had an AC with them! I think they will continue interviewing until they fill all AC spaces. I assume they haven't sent you a rejection because your app is somewhat good!

Same boat as you, also waiting on Orrick, I don’t think they’ve sent offers yet

This was BCLP’s response:

“Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide an exact update at this time but we are aiming to get back to everyone within the next couple of weeks. This is a very busy time for us but we appreciate your patience.”

Also, I haven’t heard anything from Orrick!

Completed the Mishcon VI at 3pm today and was invited to case study exercise two hours later! So surprised and excited, this is my last chance at securing a VS this cycle so would really really appreciate any tips for how best to prepare/what the case study involves. Thanks in advance

 

[M&ALawyer]

Anyone done/doing a Mills & Reeve AC?

Have one tomorrow, and given its just a group exercise and written assessment I'm not too sure how to prepare!

Im also waiting to hear back from Gibson Dunn, Milbank, and V&E.

I know that people have had interviews at Gibson Dunn since the beginning of Jan, and V&E have sent out a few interviews recently. I don't think Milbank have given any interview invites though - they tend to reply quite late.

Best of luck!

Hey guys - I have the PwC ‘career focus day’ AC coming up and I’m really nervous and unsure about what to expect. Has anyone done it for 2019 or 2020? If so I’d really really appreciate some tips! Thanks so much in advance

Neither me nor my friend heard back from Winston & Strawn yet so I guess we have to wait!

Yay incredible news! so well deserved!

Amazing news Flora! Was there anything surprising about the questions? Need to do my VI soon!

I haven't heard from Winston & Strawn, nor Orrick. I'm assuming its rejections from both MoFo and V&E having not heard from them at this point, as they are well into ACs or have completed them (at least from what I've been told, however this could be wrong!).
