Is it too early to assume PFO from Mishcon Summer, since some people have already received ACs?

 

[radssss]

Foot anstey vacation scheme offer!

Does anyone have a spring scheme offer and wants to swap with summer as I have conflicting schemes

Any advice on what to do?

 

[tjeya26]

Does anyone know if DAC Beachcroft sent out all their WE invites yesterday or if it’s staggered?

[Hopeful applicant]

Anyone hear anything from Debevoise?

 

[8law]

Anyone who has heard back from DAC post VI what office was it? has anyone heard back for regional

 

[Topdog0073]

Still nothing from Orrick, anyone else not heard yet?

Got that Stevens & Bolton PFO like half an hour ago.. expected it tbh

I pre-PFO in my spreadsheet, ain't got time to be messed around by grad recruitment - as soon as I see other people got interviews & tests and stuff, it's PFO. Not been wrong yet.

Three PFOs today (Addleshaw, S&B, Boodles), all already marked PFO in my spreadsheet.

Yeah given I have only seen one AC offer and we don't know that person's circumstances (may have needed an earlier response for some reasons). Even if not (since others who are not on TCLA may have gotten ACs) I think it is too early to tell.

Oh facts. I head a week ago or so that people had gotten interviews for Stevens & Bolton so I already knew what was up lol. We'll be alright

Congrats!! Is this for London or Bristol?

 

[nonliquetagain]

Congratulations!! Can I ask what kind of test it is? VR + QR or SJT, timed u timed video interview? I can't find anything online

I haven’t done it yet, but it’s on the Saville Assessment Oasys platform

Guys does anyone know if the Orrick Ac involves an interview?

 

[user9736478]

how long did people take to hear back from hsf ac

i heard within an hour of the AC and got the offer. my friend who got rejected heard after a week

 

[S197]

Guys does anyone know if the Orrick Ac involves an interview?

I had the same question because from the information provided it just says group assessment and written exercise whereas on the website it does mention interview

 

[radssss]

Please please dm me if anyone wants to change from achieve (spring) to aspire (summer) vac scheme for foot anstey!!

 

[HAHAHA]

Bit of a strange question but is a shirt tie and quarter zip fine for an online interview (as in with partners not a video interview)? It was fine for finance interviews I did last year I don’t know if law is more archaic in that sense and it has to be a blazer. (I’m at uni and I don’t have my suit with me otherwise I’d just wear my blazer)

 

[SophiaW]

Gibson Dunn Spring VS Offer !!!

 

[TortillaTC]

Guys does anyone know if the Orrick Ac involves an interview?

Probably not. Their email indicates there’s only a written exercise and group presentation, and that there’s nothing to prepare in advance of the day - which wouldn’t be the case with an interview. The website wasn’t updated properly.
