Is this for 2022 or 23?

2023! For the Law Students/Graduates application

Out of curiosity, how can we find out which firms lawyers lateral hire in and out of? It would be interesting to know if there was any way of seeing trends/stats outside of the normal google search

not really any information like this available unfortunately

 

[G1996]

I am happy for you..did you find out on the portal?

Thanks! I received two emails - one from the Grad Rec team and then another with a link to the portal for the VI. I have accepted another TC offer though, so told them I was withdrawing from the process so they could offer it to someone else ! I hope you hear something soon

For the Clifford Chance 2023 TC, it says they are prioritising penultimate year law students - does this mean that you are not prioritised as a final year law student?

I think so, I believe you'll only be sent the Watson Glaser in December

2023! For the Law Students/Graduates application

Last year I remember that people who'd applied for that window were getting TC offers in November, so I think you'll hear back maybe in October?

I’m sure you’re all sick of me asking about Macfarlanes every other day on the forum but for once I bring some good news.

I just got offered a training contract!!

What a journey.

Hi

Has anyone on this forum had any experience applying to the Government Legal Department? I have an Assessment Day in a few weeks. Any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Rejection from Edwin Coe after the first round interview. I was apparently shortlisted to the top ten from the first round which makes me feel a little better, but they are only interviewing the top five for now.

 

[Ali2020]

Anyone heard from White & Case / Lathams?

 

[h2020]

I applied to both too and I haven't heard back

I am so sorry to hear this Camilla but your constant improvement is so incredible! I really admire your positivity and I just know something great is in store for you!

Rejection from Bristows at final interview. Absolutely gutted, but seeing how so many people on here keep going is really nice to hear about. In the moment it feels so hopeless, its comforting to see others persevere and get there in the end.

Thank you Alice - that means a lot

Ah okay great, thanks for the response. It's always a bit nerve-wracking when you have no clue when the response will be!
