Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

[DavidJC]

Just received test invites from HL and Mayer Brown, still waiting on:
Linklaters - direct TC
CMS - London summer
Kirkland - Summer
Ashurst - direct TC
Freshfields - direct TC
Taylor Wessing
Weil - Summer
Shearman

Any others were only submitted last week. Slightly concerned as I haven't received any test invites from TW or Weil but I've emailed them. Anyone know if Weil has finished ACs?

Anyone heard back from White & Case?

hey, i have an ac this week! i hope you hear back soon though!!

 

[PhoebeL]

Did you apply for BLS or PLS? The wait is annoying isn’t it!

I haven’t heard back from them for BLS. I have seen on Twitter that they are still reviewing apps

 

[Andre]

Is Mayer Brown's Tests automatic or are they part of the next stage of the process?

 

[JayB]

I'm waiting to hear from W&C, other people have said they are still waiting as well!

Was this for spring or summer scheme?

In relation to Weil, i only did the WG last week, so i think they're still going through things. Taylor Wessing had Assessment centre last week i think, so take that as a rejection

Ahh got a summer VS at Clyde & Co! So pleased and relieved as was started to doubt myself after 6 interviews and 5 rejections over two cycles

This is amazing news. Congrats!

My friend has a Weil AC on Wednesday.

Has anyone heard anything from Stephenson Harwood? I applied for the winter VS & they said they'd consider me for the summer instead but I've heard nothing since...

 

[M&ALawyer]

Got an inv for a White & Case AC, and a telephone interview with Morgan Lewis !

Also, has anyone had any offers from Kirkland following the AC's they ran a week or two ago?

Nope - think they're collating all of the feedback and then will probably let us know by the end of this week. Hopefully anyway...
