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

    Hi Samar, that's really weird, my portal still says under review but I haven't heard anything from them at all? Do you think it would be worth me emailing them?

    Herbert Smith Freehills Vacation Scheme Interview 2019

    I applied on the 17th of December for the Summer Scheme, but my application is still sitting at 'Under Review.'

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Hi Jasmin, I've applied direct to TC, but seem to remember the deadline being mid December? It may be that they open applications up again after their vac scheme, but that's purely speculation!

    Is anyone still waiting to hear back from HSF that applied for their Summer Scheme? My application is still sitting at Under Review and hasn't changed even since I submitted the WG :confused:

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

    Sadly not, but it may have been my choice of firms. I applied to 5 firms all 5 got back to me to say that they had filled all of their TC positions from the vac scheme. It's understandable, but also incredibly frustrating if you're not in a position to complete a vac scheme!

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

    I had a slightly negative experience with this last year, as I applied for a number of firms to meet their summer direct to TC deadline only to be told that all of the spots had been filled from their vacation schemes. I've since found out that a lot of these firms actually aim to fill all of...

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

    Has anyone heard back about the HSF Summer Vac Scheme? I noticed some people on the student room have received AC invites, so I don't know how long to leave it before emailing them to check on the progress of my application.

    Kennedy's Application Questions

    Hi Jaysen, thank you for your advice. I have had a look at the 'case review' section of their website and managed to find something which hopefully should be recent enough, it just took a bit more trawling. Thanks again!

    Kennedy's Application Questions

    Hi, I have also been offered a video interview so am currently doing my best to prepare. I spoke to my careers advisor who suggested that they may ask a question about recent cases the firm have worked on. I've been able to find case reviews/ articles written by lawyers at the firm, and...
