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

[J32]

Anyone heard back from W&C?

Nope! Haven't heard of anyone hearing back too

 

[BE123]

Does anyone have any tips for an AC at TW?

Has anyone heard back from Taylor Wessing?

I applied in mid-December and found out on 6 January that I'd made it through to the online game assessment stage (which I have yet to complete)

 

[riggers]

nice!!! When did you apply? Have submitted mine at the beginning of Dec...

Like the start of January bro

Me neither but it is application deadline day so hopefully we will start hearing soon

Can't help I'm afraid but I'm assuming you've already done the TW online game assessment then? If so, do you have any tips on that? How different is it from the practice game and how long did it take for Taylor Wessing to get back to you and invite you to the AC?

Has anybody heard back from CC post AC for TC? We were told we would hear *by* Friday but apparently they are not contacting anybody until the last interviews are finished? Usually successful candidates are contacted the next day or is that just for VS?

They're gonna get back to us once they're all finished, likely starting next week.

I didn’t actually complete the practice game so I can’t help you in that respect! My advice would be just to take it slowly and really understand each level as some of them take a while to get used to. I think I completed the GBA around the 15th of December and received an invite this morning!

Hey yes, I sent the app on the 29th Dec, received the WG invite on the 2nd Jan but still waiting since completing the test last week! When did you submit?

Submitted on the 3rd Jan but haven’t heard anything since. Checked the portal and nothing on there either.

 

[theTC_girl]

DLA Piper AC invite! I can’t believe it - this is my first AC and i’m So scared!!

Congratulations!! If you don’t mind me asking, when did you complete the WG?

Should I be worried I still haven’t heard anything from Freshfields? I apply a few days before the deadline

 

[tractor12]

Is anyone still waiting for CMS or Jones Day (both summer) after initial application?

Is this for the VS or TC?

For the VS

Both firms have given out AC Invitations to candidates. For jones day, I know people with summer interviews in January and March. For CMS, they’ve been doing interviews since December.

Hope that helps and I hope you heard good news soon!

Thanks for this. Do you reckon they are still giving out invitations?

AC invite for AG Manchester... first AC ever !

Thank you! I wonder what the ratio is of interviews:TC spaces

The grad rec team read every single application and they do not have a computer filtering system to assist so really do not worry about timescales for them. it will entirely depend on the volume of apps they have because their assessment of quality will no doubt depend on the overall standard of the apps for this year and it will depend on when yours gets read as well no doubt. Please don't worry and try to put it out of your mind for now (as I am trying to do this myself!)

Thank you! I wonder what the ratio is of interviews:TC spaces

My guess is: 5 students per slot, 16 slots = 80 candidates interviewed.

Because CC give offers for TCs from their vacation schemes and spark schemes as well, and some people will reject their offer, I'm guessing 40-50 offers following this round of interviews.
