Which law firms recruit on a rolling basis? 2018-2019

[Jaysen]

However, it does state on their website they recruit on a rolling basis.

Good point. I'll drop them an email to confirm.

It is the same with Herbert Smith Freehills, maybe the websites are out of date? But always good to double check!

Does anyone know about Skadden?

Received a confirmation that Skadden don't recruit on a rolling basis.

FYI @Jaysen - I attended an Open Day at Mayer Brown today and Grad Rec confirmed that they do recruit on a rolling basis for Vacation Schemes.

However, for Training Contracts, they only look at the applications after they've allocated the TC-via-VS places and see how many places are left over. Since their latest Summer scheme only ends on 19th July, this works out to around or after 31st July - i.e. TC applications are not reviewed on a rolling basis.

That was a bit long-winded but I hope it makes sense!

Just a heads up guys, I just had it confirmed by Freshfields' graduate recruitment that the firm isn't using rolling recruitment this year.

Does any one know Freshfields vacation scheme deadline or has it passed?

Hi Jaysen,

Do you know if its worth pursuing a training contract application to White & Case, as I've heard they mainly recruit via vacation scheme route? unfortunately missed the deadline.

If you really like the firm and you think your application profile is strong then yes. Just note Chambers says 70-80% have done a scheme at W&C, so it'll be tough to get through.
