Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

[Ricky]

Still waiting for Reed Smith post research questions from about 2 months ago. I got an email in December saying they were working through the applications. Has anyone heard anything yet?

This for winter or summer? I have an interview with them on Thursday for winter VS. I think all the interview invites have gone out now!

Hi! When you completed the Baker McKenzie Watson Glaser, did you get an email confirming you had completed it? I haven’t received anything and am worried that something has gone wrong!

No confirmation so don't worry. Chase them up if you are concerned.

Hi all, does anyone have any tips for Weil's VI? What sort of questions tend to be asked?

When did you hear back? I'm still waiting :/

i did the VI last year and flopped it, but the questions were very standard off memory. Why commercial law, why Weil and something in the news. I can't remember if there were others as it was so long ago, but make sure you have solid answers for those. This was last year tho, so it may have changed.

If you find out how long you have for each question, could you let me know?

I completed my WG on 29/12 and was invited to complete the VI on 6/1. I haven't done it yet so I'm not sure how long they give us for each question. I'll let you know once I have!

Has anyone else applied to Slaughters for summer VS this cycle (or last cycle)? And know when we're likely to hear back?

I applied for a direct TC and received an AC invite on Monday after submitting my application in November

I'm sure you will hear from them soon, Good luck!

Thanks and a massive well done ! Am I right in thinking they're non-rolling? I applied on the day of the deadline for the VS but heard that they respond ridiculously quickly

I am not sure for vacation schemes but I know for training contracts they are rolling as I have had friends that were interviewed in October/November

Has anyone done VI for DAC Beachcroft yet?

Not yet, I have been preparing but just double checked the link they sent in the invite email and it seems they have moved the deadline to midnight 31 January. Have you completed it?
