Just wondering how long it took people to receive test invites for Mayer Brown after sending their app? I applied on the 18th and haven't heard yet.

I applied on the 5th and heard back on the 14th. Hopefully shouldn't be too long!

It took about a week for me to receive the test invite

Welcome to the forum! I am really sorry but I haven't had my telephone interview yet (going to have it these few days). If its not too late, I could let you know afterwards?

Yes please! Mine is on Monday morning!

Waiting patiently. I spoke to Callum last week and he said that they are very busy and only two of them working so will get back to us ASAP.

I’m “trying” to patiently wait too! But I remember at an event that their first AC is on the 27th so I wonder if they’ll delay this or give people short notice...

Hi, I have a Dentons telephone interview. Do you have any tips you wouldn't mind sharing. I am new to TCLA so not sure how to direct message sorry

If you click on an avatar and then 'start conversation', you can send a direct message .

OH wow, its the Freshfields Watson Glaser for me. This for the TC btw, anyone wondering. Honestly felt like I have been blackballed.

CMS VS offer . I did the AC 2 days ago, quick turnaround!

Btw, not sure if this has been flagged, but I'm an active/previous user, and I can't seem to log in through Google(hence why I made this account) (believe me, tried so much to make it work), so just letting the team know! Great job on the redesign TCLA team! Looks sleek!

Amazing - congratulations!

Received it too! I'm unfamiliar with the application process with Freshfields, does anyone know what proportion of candidates get this, or is it merely procedure?

How long did it take to get your report? I did it last week and still waiting, not sure if I should email them

It comes usually 2 days after, maybe ask?

 

[E.A]

Wow people are starting to hear back from Freshfields and A&O TC apps nerves kicking in!!!

Also got a WG invite for Freshies direct TC. First positive step this cycle, I know it doesn’t mean much at the moment but am buzzing

PFO Mishcon

 

[Bugsy Malone]

Also invited to Freshfields' WG test (for TC app and applied day before deadline). Super pleased especially as I was rejected for the graduate scheme earlier in the year!

 

[Abgaal]

Congrats!!! When did you apply?

Literally on the deadline

 

[bel123456]

Congrats to everyone getting FF WG invites! I guess the rest of us should expect a pfo soon
