Hope both of you are well! I was just wondering if you guys have heard back from Fried Frank post-WG test? Thank you

Hi! I heard back quite late on Friday. I was told that my application was on hold and that they would be holding initial interviews this week. If the need arises to interview more candidates then they said they would be in contact. Given how late it was, I wouldn't be surprised if they staggered some emails and you heard back at some point today! Good luck!

Anyone heard from. Bakers? The e-mail did say 15th July is the deadline for app correspondence, though weary considering how its the 13th!

Has anyone heard back from CMS Cameron McKenna for their direct TC?

cms only hires through vac schemes. How did you apply for a direct TC ?

 

[Andre]

Anyone heard from Dentons re direct TC AC?

 

[SLKEJRWOI97]

Just submitted Freshfields.

Anyone got any responses from Morgan Lewis, Hogan Lovells or Freshfields?

Hope you're all well!

Whoops put the wrong firm name down - was reading about something on my timeline and typed absent mindedly what I meant to ask about was Addleshaw Goddard

Hiya

I spoke with their grad recruitment manager a few months ago (pre-covid though) and she said that the ACs take place in August, so I don't think we'll hear until end of July/ early Aug

Apprehensive of whether to apply to Latham considering they recruit mainly from vac and may take fewer numbers due to COVID...

Re Baker, applied on 20th June. Received an email saying I'd progressed to WG on 10th July. Invite to take the test this morning with it saying video interview invitations would be sent after completion by 23rd July at the latest. Best of luck.

Also waiting!

 

[dosblancos7]

Just got a WG invite from Bakers! (Arghh the WG is literally my biggest hurdle in the VS app cycle I previously was embroiled in, but I'm definitely going to study it hard now!)

I wanted to ask, is the WG automatic for Baker McKenzie like it is for Hogan Lovells? Or did they sift through my app first and then offered the WG test( firms like NRF , Freshfields etc).

 

[lexiak]

Does anyone know any books or resources that help with preparing for AC's? I have one coming up, but always seems to fail on the written exercises.

 

[Velikilawyer123]

does anyone have any tips for Morgan Lewis AC/direct TC interview?

Did they get back to you for the direct TC interview? I submitted my application a few weeks ago but I thought they don't recruit on RB.

 

[Velikilawyer123]

Anyone know how long Sullivan & Cromwell take to respond to applications approximately?

I got an email from them shortly after submitting my application that they were putting me on hold and would get back to me after the deadline. This was a few weeks ago.

When did you submit your application?
