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

Does anyone know whether HSF ACs are rolling in that I should book the earliest AC date available to have better chance? I booked the latest date and now wondering whether I should maybe change it to earlier one? Thanks x

It's fine dw I had a AC at A&O, and I booked the last date(for my week I think). I didn't get it, but most of the other candidates did! So, it doesn't really matter, if you perform well, you will get it. All the best!

I might be wrong but I don’t think it matters. If you meet the criteria they are looking for, they will make sure they recruit you!

I could've sworn I read somewhere that they could be used to redeem application reviews and other rewards somewhere then as soon as I started collecting them I couldn't find that post anymore and I wonder if I was just hallucinating

Haha you weren’t hallucinating - we’ll have a credits system up and running very soon!

If you get enough points for an application review (or two application reviews) can you trade it for a mock interview? Or something like that?

 

[gh1999]

Congrats! When was your AC?

[Lumree]

Hi, has anyone heard back from Morrison and Foerster after their first stage interview? Was told that they would get back to me this week but they haven't done so and I was wondering whether I should give them a call....

Also, has anyone heard back from Ashurst for a TC app?

Does anyone have any tips on how to learn a firm's industry/sector strengths? E.g. how do I know a firm is leading in oil and gas? Thanks in advance

Personally, I use Legal500 and Chambers Rankings, google (for example) “IP UK Firm Rankings”, and click on both those sites, and you will see a tier list for virtually every firm.
You can click on a specific firm and read about there sector strengths in a bit more detail on Legal500/Chambers if you wish, although I personally find that of limited use.
