    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Hey! I applied for the get ahead scheme in summer & got rejected, but applied for the winter VS and had no issues so I’m sure the same will apply for you even if it’s vice versa! Good luck

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    It's not an additional WG, it's a comprehension where you answer questions... then you 'receive' 8 emails and you have to pick whether to Defer/Delegate/Delete and then you have a few SJT questions testing agile framework

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    Hey, I was recently on the Linklaters Vac scheme and there were so many people not from a Russell group university!! Echo everything that’s already been said - believe in yourself and perfect your own personal brand and I’m sure you’ll smash it

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Best of luck! Have written out some advice: I think the main thing I'd stress is don't panic!!!! They want the best from you. I wrote something that was objectively wrong in my case study, and the Partner picked up on that straight away. But he gave me time to explain my mistake and talk my...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I think in that position, I'd return the e-mail simply to say thank you and that you look forward to interviewing with them, rather than asking for more information. But well done!! That's so huge for them to consider you still

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    For VS, you go straight from the application form to an AC, and you get a decision after the AC! Hope this helps and good luck.

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I think it's impossible to tell with Links. They endeavour to let everyone know ASAP after the Vacation Scheme. I got my Winter VS offer 2 days after the AC though, so best of luck!

    I know someone who did the exact same with another firm, interviewed for the straight TC rather than the vac scheme and got the TC and accepted it!!! I’d definitely try

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    There are some good write ups on this forum that I used for my WVS interview! The AC consists of a test, an HR interview and a Partner/Managing Associate Interview. The test is nothing you can prepare for... it's like a reading comprehension, and a quick SJT. The HR interview is focusing on...

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    This is just my opinion, so could very well be wrong!! But I think there are subtle differences between the two. The latter is probably easier to approach. For example, is there anything about their Training Contract that differentiates itself, like Freshfields' 8 seat? Or anything particular...

    Freshfields Workshop Applications

    I put academic awards for the Graduate Workshop and they accepted me on, and have done the same for the TC app! Sure it's fine. Good luck with your application!!!

    This is so late!!! NRF were my favourite firm going into application season but going to find out so much later than every other firm... how bizarre. Thanks for letting us know though!!

    Also if it helps, having done the VI for the Winter Scheme, there isn't really any major overlap between the two whatsoever! Good luck!!!!

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    I heard back at the beginning of December! They wanted to interview me mid-December, but was on a vac scheme so had to postpone until February (the next TC interview batch). I'm sure you'll hear back soon!!! Best of luck
