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

Well done! Is that for the London office? Did you hear back today?

Thanks! Yes it's for the London office. No, I actually heard on the 27th May but have not got down to properly preparing until now!

May I ask when did you apply for it ? Is it for 2023?

 

[WannabeSolicitor24]

Has anyone heard from Slaughters post-AC recently? (Sorry to ask again)

They take about 3 weeks to hear back after AC

 

[Abel040]

May I ask when did you apply for it ? Is it for 2023?

I applied 1 week after the applications opened - I don't remember when that was sorry! Yes it's for 2023.

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.

That’s pretty rare in legal recruitment to be honest.

Hey is this for Ashurst or PM?

Pinsent Masons have just begun a two week scheme, after having run another a few weeks ago. So I imagine their grad rec will be busy with that for the moment. Good luck though 🤞

They did say ACs are going to be w/c 26th though. So I imagine that invites to the WG are going to be beginning to mid-July ☺️

Anyone know if it’s too late to apply for slaughters?

 

[TCLA Community Assistant]

Anyone know if it’s too late to apply for slaughters?

I’d still apply if it was me - it’s a fairly straight forward application process and what do you have to lose apart from some time?

 

[RoughWood]

Is the presentation part of an AC?

They dont specify AC but it sounds like it, presentation and discussion on a legal scenario

Yeah I checked their website and there was no mention of an ‘AC’. But thank you and good luck!!

Oh no! Have they filled all their spots? I thought the deadline was just last Friday :/

Just got a call from Wedlake Bell inviting me to an interview for their 2022 TC - couldn't take it because I've already accepted one but anyone who's waiting it's not a lost cause 🤣

😭😭 I posted about this before. So sorry you didn’t know! Yeah they were rolling for the special March intake. They already had ACs for it too. Try and email grad rec and ask if you can be considered for the Sep 2023 intake because you didn’t know they were rolling.

Thank you for this! I was wondering if you knew if Ashurst have out scores for their psychometric tests?
