    Pinsent Masons Application 2019/20

    I’ve just seen your edit! I agree, there’s dozens of ‘test’ applications available which I don’t think I should be seeing. I think I will email recruitment just to check. Thank you for your help as always Jessica!

    Pinsent Masons Application 2019/20

    Interesting. I would have thought because the main bulk of people applying are students they wouldn’t ask. What about the other question? I usually wouldn’t say ‘apprenticeship’ is synonymous with training contract, though I suppose it could be. There’s also not anywhere else on the...

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

    Hi! Not sure if this is the right place for this cycle but does anyone know if Pinsent Masons recruit on a rolling basis? I can see in the first post that you were unsure Jaysen but not sure if this has changed. Their new website says both of these things: "After the deadline, we'll review...

    Future events on an application form

    Where should I put it as I haven’t actually gained anything from it yet? Perhaps under the additional information question? Maybe I’ll just leave it out for now.

    Future events on an application form

    Hi everyone, I know this has been asked before but unfortunately, I couldn't find where and I can't remember what was said exactly! Should you put upcoming events you are attending on your work experience form? After applying, I have been invited to attend the LawCareersNetLIVE event in...

    Thank you for this! I’ve just bought Christopher Stoakes book on the city. Have you read this and if so is it equally useful for financial terms? I haven’t had chance to look over it.

    This is my first year as well, but from reading the FAQ I can see it mentions political and economic as suggestions for areas to research!
