Yes, invite to first round interview with Peters & Peters. Hope you will hear back soon!

Congrats !!

Can I know when you heard back from them if you don't mind?

Also did anyone get any acknowledgement after submitting their TC application for Ince? I'm worried they might not see my email

 

[BigLawBois]

I am in the same situation as you. When did you submit the application? Has 7 days passed from your submission date since they mention it that we will get the test link within 7 days.

I just got my Ashurst test. So I think its best to wait

 

[BigLawBois]

They’ve been pretty busy with vacation schemes ending last Friday. So you might get your tests soon

Hey is this for Ashurst or PM?

It took around 2/3 weeks before I received an email back acknowledging my application

Shakespeare Martineau AC! Has anyone else also heard back from them? I haven't seen this firm talked about much on this forum but would love to chat with anyone who did also apply!

I gave them an email a couple weeks ago as I hadn't heard anything, and they said they would respond to all applicants by June 30th, with interviews taking place w/c 12th of July. I haven't heard anything either just to clarify, but they just said they had received a significant number more so than any other year, and they don't use an automated system to filter out applications, hence why it takes longer.

Ah okay thankyou so much! And what do you mean automated system to filter out applicants?
Do you mean like the personality tests etc? Because I thought they come after the firm has read the applications anyway?

Has anyone heard from Blake Morgan following the initial application?

Has anyone heard from Blake Morgan following the initial application?

I got an email from them saying I was not successful for their VS as they had filled up all their spaces but that they’re considering me for their direct TC. Did you get that email?

No, some firms use automated systems looking for key things in cv’s and applications. It’s a time saver for them basically. Just saves them manually sifting through every applicant.

Does anyone have any advice for the Fieldfisher AC? My first one and I'm very nervous!
