I have an AC for White & Case this week for the winter vac scheme and wondering if anyone could give me advice for the written exercise?

Hi guys, I am not sure if there is a minimum grade for GDL/ LPC at Dechert. If have any ideas, please let me know

Got a Mayer Brown invite for their SJT and Verbal Reasoning. Um, is this is automatic or?

This is what they said :

Thank you for applying for a vacation scheme with Mayer Brown International LLP. I am pleased to inform you that we would like to progress you to the next stage in our recruitment process.

Hi guys, is anyone still waiting to hear back from travers Smith, Latham or white and case? Feels like I’ll never hear back at the moment...

Heard there's a ton of applications over at TS and just two people looking at them. Hang tight.

I haven't heard back from White & Case for winter vac scheme after submitting my application on 2nd October. Should I assume rejection?

 

[Lumree]

Has anyone heard from Taylor Wessing?

Congratulations!!! I did a VS with Jones Day last year. It was SUPER conversational! They ask the standard questions like why commercial law and why Jones Day. They ask questions about the benefits/drawbacks of their TC structure (it was non-rotational when I applied). There was mix of motivational, competency and commercial awareness qs (e.g. latest news article you've been following). My biggest advice is that they really want to get to know YOU so make sure you go over your cover letter/work history because they discuss certain points. Also, they may ask questions like your hobbies etc.
