Lewis Silkin Application

[Josh Neerkin]

Hello all,

I hope all us budding lawyers have had a wonderful Christmas, and perhaps a brief break from applications.

I'm working on the Lewis Silkin application and was wondering if anyone had some advice for this question.

Lewis Silkin prides itself on delivering legal advice in a commercial way. What do you think it means to deliver legal advice in a commercial way?

Any ideas/ inspiration would be massively appreciated.

Am also interested in advice for this question.

How did you decide to answer it?

Anyone done the VI? How did you find it?

As for this question - I structured into key themes and included examples.

Hi, I was wondering whether you had managed to find any information regarding Lewis Silkin's VI? Have mine coming up and can't seem to find anything online, Thanks!

I did one for the spring workshop, all I'd say is that when they say you can't prepare, they mean it... The questions may have changed but they seemed more about assessing your personality/character than anything else. It was a while ago that I did them though.

Hi, can anyone shed any light on what to expect for the written case study? Thanks!

I suspected the questions would be personality/motivations based so that's really helpful, thank you for that!

Has anyone heard from Lewis Silkin post pre-selection assessments?

Me neither!

They said we’d hear back by the middle of September at the latest, so still a while yet.

Oh, that makes sense seeing as the AC is in Nov. Thanks for letting me know!

I was told that they'll be in touch "as soon as possible" with no other time line. Were you emailed regarding this?

 

[Changes]

Yes. When I sent my case study they replied saying thank you and that I would hear back by middle of September at the latest.

EDIT: Sorry, I was mistaken. They said mid-September in the initial invite email with the details of the three assessments (VI, McQuaig and case study). Fourth para from the bottom of the email.

Yes you are correct. It feels like it was a very long time ago now, however not long left till we hear back.

Heard back today from Lewis Silkin today and it was good news - good luck to everyone still waiting to hear!

If anyone has any tips/advice for the final stage, I'd really appreciate it
