Did those who applied to Addleshaw Goddard receive a confirmation email of any kind?
Not yet!

I received this email too. I spent weeks on that application its frustrating that it hasn't even been read.
It is frustrating because I'm fairly sure that they knew before the deadline that they wouldn't be making offers, given the financial mess that the firm has been in these past few months.

I guys,

I am planning to send my CV for TC apps and was wondering if you know someone who could give me a professional feedback?

Has anyone heard from Penningtons Manches Cooper recently? I applied in June and saw they’re responding on a rolling basis.

Hiya

I applied at the start of March and I’ve still not heard back but the confirmation email I received said that they would be in contact after the application deadline ?

I did see on their website that they said they review on a rolling basis though so not sure what’s going on.

I suspect what has happened is that DWF have cut their trainee intake for the next few years given their current cost-cutting programme. Disappointing that they couldn’t have told applicants earlier but I guess they may only have finalised their numbers recently.

So sorry, and sorry for being super annoying but can I ask when you applied, please?

For those still waiting - Slaughter and May rejection (about an hour ago). Tough to take another rejection, but that's life I suppose. Wishing the absolute best of outcomes to anyone waiting to hear back still!

Tomorrow will be a day to analyse where I could have gone wrong, today is a day to have a drink in the sun and move on from this setback.
