Anyone heard from Morgan Lewis post TI?

Not yet, I was told it would be either last Friday or sometime today. Did they tell you the same thing?

Anyone heard from Morgan Lewis post TI?

Also, when did you have the TI if I may ask?

How do I find these jobs?

Best thing is to search bank websites and graduate job sites like target jobs.

I’m guessing a lot of grad rec are on holiday hence why there hasn’t been that many responses for TC applications? Cause no idea what’s going on

Even if they are not, it is a very busy time for graduate recruitment with summer vacation schemes, preparing for the next recruitment cycle, preparing for trainee inductions, planning seat rotations, on-boarding trainees to law school etc.

Its probably the busiest time of year for many of those teams.

Hello everyone, this is off topic, but I’ve just been offered a paralegal position at a law firm in a home county. Wondering how you negotiate salary and what to look out for in the offer? I’m also curious what’s the going rate for paralegals in Home Counties. @Jessica Booker will it be ok if I private message you for advice?

The Home Counties is a pretty broad salary range in itself due to the variety of locations.

You can PM me, but I won't have specific knowledge about salaries for firms.

I didn’t receive it at first, so I emailed them and they sent it.

Most of them seem to want some sort of knowledge rather than being law-friendly

Hey just wondering if anyone knows of a list of law firm application date starts.

Easy to find deadlines, but I want to know what date they actually start accepting applications on.

banking job market is absolutely cooked, all the europeans have cornered the whole market. I would not even bother with banking unless you can make a VERY competitive application.
