Has anyone applied to / heard from Greenberg Traurig?

 

[J Malone]

They take a lot to reply to you..Last year I sent my app in November and they sent me a rejection in May

Wow. That was really A WOW...

The recent news from FF London-Asia TC

I asked the process of my application and it was quite surprising that the response was coming from Hong Kong. They told me that
We are currently reviewing your application and shall reach out to you once we have an update on your application.

My current status is : pre-WG

Hi Lisa, I applied to GT, I haven't heard back yet. I also haven't come across anyone who has received an AC invite.

Thanks for sharing! So was it summer vs?

you are assuming they will offer you a TC!

there is nothing stopping you reneging your current offer and accepting the latest offer if that’s something you wanted to do.

TC offers should be either extended to the 15th September as you go into your final year of uni, or 4 weeks if you are past that stage.

But the above is a voluntary code, there’s nothing stopping a firm asking you to accept the offer within a few days. But there’s little stopping you reneging on a firm neither (well until you have had any form of financial compensation from the firm at least).

Jessica, so some firms actually allow the TC offers to stand until 15th Sept, even if they offer you the TC in say, March?

Has anybody else been totally ghosted by Addleshaw Goddard post-application? I was having trouble receiving any emails from the portal so tried emailing them about that and still received nothing.

Yes summer! Did you apply for summer?

 

[J Malone]

Yes summer! Did you apply for summer?

Yes but i submitted on the last day...!!!

I havent heard back yet either, but saw that somoene received an invite last year on 28 february (on another forum). Considering thats the date you can assume a rejection if you haven't heard back by, this might be the case this year as well.

I sent my application in December and chased up at the end of January.

They said they would be in touch shortly and that they are still reviewing applications. This was two weeks ago now.

Got invited to an Open Day with Farrer & Co! Does anyone have any experience of what the day is like and how vac schemers are selected?

 

[Karin]

I applied for spring. But I've seen loads of people on here get ACs for summer way before I did and funnily enough the invite email didn't say specifically invite to spring/summer vac AC like most law firms do. So I get the feeling they just interview people as and when they want based on the strength of their app???

Yeah! I have a spring AC interview next week and was told that they let us know the day after, so assume it is rolling? Who knows really! Thank you for the reply!

Exactly the same happened to me. I have emailed about it and no reply yet.

I did the SJT mid January. Got invited for the online ability tests and VI on 5 Feb!

I wonder why it's taking so long for them! Did they tell you instantly whether you passed the SJT because I have not heard anything back since doing my SJT.

 

[JoNo]

Anyone heard from Hogan Lovells, post-WG?

 

[Shane]

Has anyone gotten a VS offer and could not attend due to a time conflict and got the timings for the vacation scheme shifted? Or, better yet, got a TC offer?

I was made choose between or the other and I was only given a couple of days to make the decision. I got the impression that the firm really wanted me to commit to them in those circumstances.

 

[Angiee]

I think today was the last round of RPC ACs

how do you know this? I haven't hear anything back post their online test
