Hi, does anyone know how many TC offers does Paul Hastings give out? also, do they primarily hire from their summer placement scheme?
I think Paul Hastings (‘PH’) recruit around 12 trainees a year. I don’t know for sure whether the summer placement scheme leads to a TC offer or whether they are two separate applications, although I imagine if someone did complete the placement scheme it would help them stand out in their DTC application. I asked a similar question about PH a while ago, and this is what @Ram Sabaratnam said:
Hiya @Chris Brown
Based on discussions with Paul Hastings future trainees, last year was the first time they ran the work experience scheme. I'm told they interviewed a lot of direct TC applicants as well. It seems like they may allow people to reapply for the direct TC if they weren’t successful via the vac scheme, since the work experience scheme was more geared towards candidates with less legal work experience. It's also possible they could like you but decide to interview you straight for the TC instead.
Historically, they've reviewed applications on a non-rolling basis. However, this might have changed and I’d recommend contacting the graduate recruitment team for confirmation.
Hope that helps, and best of luck with your application!
