Hello all! It’s been a bit of a stressful time at the day job so I had checked out of TC applications. Coming back to them now, and I see that I’ve missed several deadlines. I know that the answer is likely to be if you don’t apply, you don’t have a chance, but, realistically, is there any point is stressing over applications this late in the game? Some of the remaining firms have quite small intakes too - like Boodle Hatfield, Withers, Penningtons. Any insight / thoughts would be great!

PS: I see Dentons is still taking applications? I don’t know why I thought they had finished their recruitment. Does anyone know if they review on a rolling basis?
White and case, ashurst and dentons are still accepting applications

    I just received an email from Fieldfisher stating that I still haven’t completed the online tests and due to that, my application has not progressed. But I completed them more than a week ago. What do I do?

    Did you complete the diversity survey at the end too? That threw me off that there was another section to complete after finishing the tests.

    I would email them, say you completed them, and ask if there were technical problems on their end.
