From AI to Energy Deals: Inside a Full-Service Law Firm with Osborne Clarke
8 Dec 2025 · 6pm (UK)
Zoom · Registration Required
You want to write a strong Osborne Clarke application — but what really makes the firm different, and how do trainees experience the work day-to-day?
In this session, you’ll hear directly from current trainees and Recruitment Advisor Patrick Fermin Ryan, so you can speak with clarity and specificity in your applications and interviews.
Grad Rec said it's a question they use to get to know you better. It doesn't have to be a career linked to law at all. I don't think it plays a key role in who gets progressed or not. Just make sure your why Skadden answer is good.
For the first part, discuss their awards and accomplishments. For the second part, highlight their personal development efforts, including training, pro bono work, and overall growth.
Then, in the practice area questions, mention the deals they worked on in the areas that interest you.

Hey. Please don't beat yourself up. I applied on the first day and got my invite on Monday. It's rolling, and different people in the team look at different applications. Wishing you all the best
They look at your application answers after taking the test. You don't get passed to the next stage yet just because you passed the test. You would have to pass their internal benchmark and then they review it in line with what you have said in your application as well. Everyone gets the test...
Should we be worried if we haven't heard back from Weil? I submitted my application on the first day it opened last month. Do they have any strict grade requirements? I know they review on a rolling basis.
5th PFO from Covington this Cycle. Applied to all three legal horizons, mentorship scheme and Open day. They DEFINITELY do not want me. Was going to apply for their spring vs but I’ll pass 🤬🤬😡
