Anyone heard back from FF post AC?

I know someone was offered a TC yesterday

Anyone who hasn't received a WG invite from Freshfields still waiting for that PFO? I applied back in January and heard nothing, what are they waiting for just reject me already 😿

Just got the PFO! It was kind of weird because I logged in to the portal after so long and saw it had updated yesterday and just a second later I got the PFO via email. Does it activate automatically when you log in or something??

I think that will just be a coincidence if I’m honest! I received my rejection and did not check the portal

Hello, has anyone who applied to Mayer Brown for a direct TC had a TI or even an AC, please?

 

[N.9]

@HorsesForCoursesNeighNeighNeigh and @northernlawstud could you please tell me whether that's a TI or an AC invite, and if so when you applied? (Sorry to be that person)

My FF portal is still 8th of Jan... Anyone else in the same boat?

Hi! I applied in November, TI in December, AC a few weeks back. Around 2 months between TI and invite to AC.

Thanks so much! Well done for getting to the final hurdle. You don't happen to know until when they are doing ACs, do you?

& yikes, maybe I should send them an email - I got the report at the beginning of Feb.

They recruit rolling for both, and like others had a huge influx of applications this year. The next few ACs are their last ones, I have seen that those who had TIs in the last few days were finding out if they were going to AC in a week or so. I'm not sure if they applied before you, if so unfortunately you might be too late if you did the tests in Feb?

Ah right, I see. Thank you for the information, I appreciate it. Ah well, here's to hoping...!

Does anyone know if Farrer and Co and Withers direct TCs are rolling?

Is anyone still waiting to hear back from Hill Dickinson (Liverpool) after doing the WG?

To those still waiting for Freshfields, all interview invites have been made (they interviewed 35 candidates in total for the winter window out of over 1k apps). I hope this helps!

Hey congrats! just wondered if Kennedys requires you to have completed the LPC before applying for a TC?

Nope! They sponsor LPC for future trainees.
