[JayB]

Following on from the last thread... so everyone is aware who applied to Ashurst

Hey @NMD - how do you know we will hear back middle of next week did you email Ashurst? And best of luck to you too mate! You applied to the direct TC? Yeah?

I’m aware all their ACs have now been completed, this is from a mate who did the AC couple weeks back.

 

[Roland]

Has anyone got an AC with DLA Piper coming up soon? Any tips would be appreciated!! Thanks

 

[CCC]

I'm still waiting to hear from Forsters. As yet no PFO.
When did you hear?

Ah fair, thanks for that! Quite annoying that they didn't close their apps if they already had their AC places filled.

 

[R Cross]

What things do you want to know?

Sorry for the delayed response! Basically just a couple examples of what type of questions they might ask. I'm guessing they'll have the usual 'why law' and 'why Mayer Brown', but I have absolutely no idea beyond that!

Anyone still waiting to hear from:

- Morrison & Foerster
- K&L Gates

When did you do your tests and hear back please?

I did my tests in early December and heard back on the 6th of January. Was quite a long wait

Weil - If summer, I think they handed AC's out after people completed VI's end of Jan. Perhaps once these AC's are complete, they will get back to you! Good luck x

Wow. Only did mine about a month ago. Guess I’ve got some time
