Anyone waiting on Baker McKenzie, I just received an email inviting me to take the online test (though they haven't actually sent the link for the test yet!)

I'm trying to gather as much information about the layout of the VI at the moment so thank you for that article! Prepping my why law, why Bristows answers as well as any competency questions that might pop up.

That's what I'm doing too, from what I've read on glassdoor it is just mainly why law? why bristows? and 'tell me about yourself'

Anyone got any tips for the Bristows TC video interview? Thanks in advance

Hey guys, if you haven't had your Bristows video interview already, a kind soul sent me this:

I just did the video interview and think it went okay despite my nerves - I thought this might be useful for your online service: they asked three questions, two of which were why you would make a good solicitor and what differentiates them from their competitors. Thank you for your help!

Has anyone heard back from HFW for the spring scheme? I applied in December and no one I know seems to have heard anything back

When would it be appropriate to email a firm about the outcome of your application? I applied to Reed Smith in the beginning of December, did not hear anything from them except an email that they had a large number of application at half January. but I have heard from people that applied after me and did get an invitation to a test?

I think if you haven't even received the test yet, that's reason enough to email! Especially because 2 months have passed

Still waiting (for summer). No one I know has heard back yet either.

I'm in the same boat! Sent my app off in January and haven't heard since apart from the 'keep tight' email...

Excited to say i've been invited to an ac at BCLP! It's my first ever ac!

The email just says:

'A drafting exercise, a business style role play, a group negotiation and a competency based interview with a member of HR or an Associate'.

Any guidance from someone who has completed at ac with them before would be really amazing

Rejection from Bird & Bird post-AC. A bit gutted but felt I gave a good account of myself and prepared well so one of those things I guess... hopefully, the feedback call will be beneficial. Fingers crossed get positive news from Weil!

Sorry to hear man! With each AC, you’ll learn and grow a lot, so I’m sure it’s only a matter of time. Best of luck for Weil!
