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

[Alice G]

Just received AC invite for Freshfields TC

well done! when did you do the WG?

 

[D95]

Anyone heard from DAC Beachcroft (post-VI),McGuire Woods, Winston & Strawn, Stevens & Bolton, King & Spalding?

I am trying to tell myself that it's because they are still reviewing, but something tells me I've been ghosted...

 

[Alice G]

I am still waiting post WG on FF so if anyone else is in the same boat please let me know.

I haven't heard back since doing the WG (two weeks ago).

 

[ComplianceChange]

Waiting for linklaters and going insane!

 

[mserwaah1]

Yes, they said that to us as well! I expect some people will get notified this week

im waiting too! When did you guys complete your ACs?

 

[MVE49]

well done! when did you do the WG?

Thanks! I did it last Thursday

 

[Lauren2]

Anyone heard from Orrick or Cooley?

Nope, I haven't heard from either yet (applied on deadline day for each, but Cooley is non-rolling)

 

[Lumree]

Nope, I haven't heard from either yet (applied on deadline day for each, but Cooley is non-rolling)

I think Orrick is as well but I hope we won’t have to wait until summer!

 

[L197]

Sorry to hear that. May I ask when did you submit the answers ?

I sent them on the 26th jan!

 

[FC]

Interview for Travers Smith! Applied Christmas Eve

Congrats Caitlin! Do you mind sharing if this was for direct TC or VS?

 

[Lauren2]

If you got rejected after testing for VS, are you still able to apply for a TC afterwards? Or do I have to wait for the next cycle?

Depends on the firm, I'd email them individually to check. I did this last year and received mixed responses - usually if you select both when applying for the VS, you have to wait until the following year

My friend is a paralegal there (applied internally) and also hasn't heard anything yet - from what I hear, DACB take their sweet time, but it doesn't mean you're forgotten/rejected.

 

[GM]

Still haven't received anything from NRF.. Anyone in the same boat?

Still waiting! If anyone has any news or updates I'd love to know! I applied on 17 Jan for Summer VS, but nothing since. I know some people received WG invites last week but I'm not sure if that was for TC or VS. I really hope we hear back soon.

 

[Al1793]

I'm not sure but emailed grad recruitment and they said the following and I did mention that my portal was updated:

We are still in the process of interviewing for the vacation scheme and we will shortly start reviewing training contract applications. As soon as we have an update for you, we will be in touch. This is likely to be over the next few weeks.

This was Freshfields btw

@Helena

Sorry for chase up question, did they say this after you'd been invited for WG or had you received no response? Bit confused too as so many people seem to already have TC AC invitations :/

I’ve only heard of one person with a TC AC invite and that’s @MVE49 who was invited late this aft! Are you sure they’re not VS AC invites?
