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

Just received WG test link for HL direct TC application (applied on 31 Jan).

Is it automatic.. I applied a few hours before the deadline 11.59 on the 31st..

Did you get a WG invite?

Did you get a WG invite?

Nope.. but then again I applied for their Africa LLM vac scheme..and that deadline is may.. but on the app it said TC deadline 31st.. so I don’t even know what’s going on

Also does anyone know if it is bad to write “Q1” on an application as opposed to “Quarter” .. I used “Quarter” in my first paragraph and changed it to Q in the next few.. I wonder if that will get me a rejection if content is good.

Anyone whose Freshfields portal updated heard back yet?

Me!

 

[Holly]

I haven't heard back from Latham either. I have just sent them an email this morning.

Also haven't heard back from Linklaters, Weil, Squire, Ashurst for their VS

Weil are still doing spring VS AC's so if you applied for summer, don't worry

Me!

What did it say?

Generally consistency is good but that seems so minor - I wouldn’t worry.

Thanks Jaysen

Got a Skadden AC invite for the summer vac scheme. If anyone has any tips would be very much appreciated

I am in the same situation..I applied to both firms just before the deadline...so tired of waiting!!

Yes - really frustrating! I have a feeling CMS have done all their Acs...

Skadden rejection and still on hold at Links for spring VS.

 

[Eva]

Which intake?

2021 intake - the WG link might be sent automatically.

 

[Dos]

2021 intake - the WG link might be sent automatically.

I read HG don't give WG invites automatically- might be wrong though!

 

[MM]

Skadden rejection and still on hold at Links for spring VS.

same!

Does anyone know how long Slaughter and May respond post-interview?. Its been two weeks since I had my AC and I haven't had any responses?

Last year I did my interview at Slaughters for the VS in early January and only heard back in first/second week of Feb. They don't send out offers until they have interviewed all candidates so hang tight, no news is definitely good news in their case!

They got back to me within a week, but I guess that depends.

 

[Caitlin]

Ahh got a summer VS at Clyde & Co! So pleased and relieved as was started to doubt myself after 6 interviews and 5 rejections over two cycles

Did you get an offer or rejection?
