    Has Hogan Lovells changed its policy on applying more than twice?

    Hiya, I applied to Hogan Lovells twice during my second year- once for a vac scheme and once for a training contract. At the time, I read on their FAQ page that candidates cannot apply more than two times. However, on their new graduate page, I can't find anything about that. Has their policy...

    Visa and Vac Schemes

    Thank you for your reply! I looked into that but I am planning on doing an LLM in September 2022 so I thought it would be a waste to convert to a graduate route now because you can only apply for it once and it is quite expensive.

    ULaw or BPP for LPC?

I am a self-funding international student so I am a bit more lenient towards ULaw because they have offered the International Bursary which has made the course cheaper, whereas, I don't qualify for the BPP one due to my grades. I wanted to get a...

    Hey guys! I had applied for a VS and a TC with Hogan Lovells during the 2019-2020 cycle and I want to try again but on their website, it says that students are only able to apply to the firm twice. Does anyone know if they're strict about this? should I apply anyway?

    Hi guys! I hope you are all well and keeping safe! I recently realised that if I manage to secure a TC this season, I will have a year between graduating and starting my LPC/SQE. I am not sure if I want to do a masters and I think a lot of deadlines have passed already so I was wondering if...
