I hate to be that guy but what time is this: 'The deadline for this interview is 25 July 2023 (GMT+01:00)

To me it reads 1am Tuesday but just seems a bizarre deadline.

Just FYI as we’re currently in BST I think the deadline will be midnight rather than 1am, but could be wrong!

Looks like they send out WG from Freshfields in batches. Anyone have any feedback? Is it timed? More difficult than the average WG test?

Does anyone remember if CC offered virtual ACs in the cycle that just passed?

I don't think they did. A friend of mine did it in their office but for their Middle East it was virtual not for their London as far as I remember.

They mean 23.59 on 25 July given its BST rather than GMT at the moment.

Has anyone received the WG from Hogan Lovells, considering they review on a rolling basis? I applied last month and I am yet to hear back.

I received it 2 days after submitting my application. Applied last month

Hi! I went to one of the online law fairs, GR said they won't get in touch until closer to the deadline.

Hi @Jessica Booker hope you are doing well. Could you please tell me how I can alter the details that I had written for my mock TCLA interview? Basically, whilst booking the mock, there was one section that asked me if I had details about what kind of questions would be asked in the interview. I want to change that section slightly. Is there an email address for this?

Thanks.

Does anyone know if Cleary recruits primarily from their vac scheme (trying to decide whether it is worth applying since the deadline is so close)? Also, are tc applications reviewed on a rolling or non-rolling basis?
(Thanks)
