Waiting on Dechert, Debevoise and Freshfields

Yes me too, not sure what happened there..

 

[sparky10]

I applied on 15th Jan and have heard back

Ah congrats! thank you for letting me know

 

[E.A]

Still haven’t heard back from Mayer Brown post telephone interview... presuming a rejection at this point

I haven't heard back either but gad rec said they started ACs 2 weeks ago and will go on until end of March so still time

Anyone else still waiting on:

IM (PLS, London), Dechert, TW, Boodle, Penningtons (for summer)?

I'm guessing Penningtons have had a lot of ACs already so assuming I'll be getting a PFO from them but have IM started responding for London yet?

 

[Msh123]

has anyone applied to Dechert for Spring and still not heard back? I saw they've already had a few ACs but have also already rejected a few people, kind of expecting a PFO at this stage lol

Still waiting on IM PLS London, hope the long wait isn't a sign of a PFO 😅

Does anyone have any advice for keeping up with case law when you aren't an LLB student anymore? I've been asked to prepare a presentation on a case from the past year for an assessment centre and I don't even know where to start. I've spent so much time trying to keep up with the business news that I've not even thought about keeping up with what's going on in the courts, so any advice would be appreciated.

Has anyone received a PFO for white & case spring/summer vc?

 

[Etudierlaw2022]

Has anyone received a PFO for white & case spring/summer vc?

I've seen a fair few rejections for both I think

 

[corplaw123]

Has anyone received a PFO for white & case spring/summer vc?

I still haven't heard anything from them regarding the summer VS

I assume you do not have access to legal databases. Some cases can come up through news such as the recent Uber case. You could also check through firms websites as they cover pretty much all of the seminal cases which have implications on their clients.

Has anyone received a PFO for white & case spring/summer vc?

I applied for Spring and got a PFO last week. Also saw on LinkedIn that a few people have accepted Spring offers with W&C.

Good luck!

 

[John Travoni]

Anyone heard back from Kennedy’s, Cooley, Forsters or Gateley?

 

[Mp4eng]

has anyone had their V&E AC?

Mine is not until the middle of March.

To be fair I'm unsure that anyone at all has had any contact about the pls london!!! Hopefully we're not out of the running just yet!

Does anyone know whether Linklaters is still holding ACs for the summer vac scheme? It's almost March, so I don't really think that I may hear back positively at all.

 

[Celestie]

I still cannot get onto my PwC portal. Anyone else who was fast-tracked in this position?

I am in the same boat mate... rly worried. But I just want to hear back now regardless, I hate this wait!
