Shearman & Sterling Winter Vacation Scheme
Hi All, I've had a confirmation from Paul Gascoyne at Shearman & Sterling: "To clarify - we don't recruit on a rolling basis. Everyone who applies on or before the deadline will have their application reviewed. We may review applications before the deadline, given the volume of applications we...- Jaysen

Shearman & Sterling Winter Vacation Scheme
It sounds like they may not offer places until after the deadline, but they may still interview candidates (I assume to spread out the interview process). I've had a few PMs about this - I don't think people should assume candidates are making up interviews invitations without more proof.- Jaysen

Commercial Awareness Tips
Might also add tech valuations and WeWork's troubles to this list. I haven't heard WeWork come up yet, but I could see it being a great topic to ask in interviews. The decline of high street firms has also come up in the past.- Jaysen

Commercial Awareness Tips
I can't say I'm too clued up on this in practice, but ^ is how I'd answer this in theory. If you're in that position, many would much rather pay a higher interest rate than risk losing possession of an asset if things go wrong (especially if the bank is pushing for something substantial).- Jaysen

Which office would you open/close?
I hear 'where shall we open our next office?' gets asked fairly frequently. The 'where should we close?' came up in a few Linklaters interviews last year (although I haven't heard another firm ask it). Some factors that you might want to consider for open: - Why do law firms open new offices...- Jaysen

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
I would echo this. Unfortunately I receive too many PMs that it's difficult for me to respond to them all. If it's a generic question, please post in the forum and tag me. If it's something personal or can't be answered in the forums, it would be great if you can email...- Jaysen

Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020
As Jess said, I'd be surprised if it's phrased this way unless you had indicated some kind of interest in consulting or made a general statement about your interest in commercial law that sounded like it could crossover to any finance profession. Like you, I can't say I know much about what...- Jaysen

Gowling WLG
I may have said this before but I see a lot of answers to this question that are too generic (talking about Gowling generally). I’d make sure your answer is 100% focused on this new public sector client in the health sector. Consider what kind of needs that client would have and then use what...- Jaysen
