    LPC or SQE?

    @Jessica Booker Are you able to comment on the likelihood of a 2023/4 TC (at a City law firm) operating similar to the current format (i.e. pass SQE 1 and 2, then 2 years of QWE) or more like accountancy (i.e. pass SQE 1, then two years of QWE alongside studying for SQE 2)?

    Sorry there wasn't one when I uploaded. The other link was basically talking about Taylor Wessing closing their office after a positive case of coronavirus.

    Kirkland & Ellis Open Day

    Shouldn't have been an issue for me, since they can just see that I'm in second-year of a non-law degree and I applied before I got either A&O or GS.

    Kirkland & Ellis Open Day

    Not to toot my own horn, but with an A&O TC and Goldman summer internship, I was rejected from Kirkland's open day yesterday with you [so they didn't single you out]. At my three open days at American firms last year, the attendance was 13, 20 and 25 - the 13 one had 300 and something applicants.

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Rejected post-AC today. Did really good in the GR interview, good in the exercise-based assessment, and bad in the Partner interview sadly :(.

    You can just submit three, I asked them to add another after submitting the form and they told me that it is actually limited.

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

    I have a Hogan Lovells interview for their summer scheme (15 June - 3 July) but just got an internship which begins from 29th June, so overlapping by a week. There's no chance that HL will allow me to do a 2 week scheme, right?

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Can anyone help me think about what truly makes Linklaters unique (when compared to other firms like A&O) from the perspective of a young lawyer? Having a hard time forming an answer without fluff.

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    I told them I would really like to know if they're inviting me to an AC by the end of the week (because i needed to decide between another internship's spring or summer dates) and they invited me to an AC after a couple days.

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    I did, and got a positive reply by the end of the week. It was the general gradrec email, then usually someone from the grad team will email you from their personal address.
