CLIFFORD CHANCE 2024 TC OFFER!!!!!!!!

Huge congrats! 😊 Have you had a follow up email from grad rec yet with details / contract etc?

 

[littlecat]

I emailed the grad recruitment team and they said they were still considering applications which seems odd!

Is this for DLA Piper or Taylor Wessing?

I think DLA finished all its ACs, TW are still considering apps (I emailed GR).

pwc vi!

If I remembered correctly, in the last cycle they asked competency and situational questions with around 1 minute to prep and around 2-3 minutes to deliver your answer. Also there was a presentation-ish task where you need to analyse the client's business with 10min to prepare and present in 4 or 5 minutes.

I could only remember very vaguely cuz I was really bummed knowing I messed up the VI. Not completely sure abt the arrangement this year, hope this will help!

Hello! Does anyone know what the PWC video interview is like? Any tips on how to prep would be greatly appreciated, as I haven’t done this before! Thanks in advance

 

[Nicole15]

If it helps, last year I got an interview invite for early March and I submitted back in October- they do take a while to choose people because they only take 100ish through to interview. So don't worry!!!

Thanks for this!

 

[nrca201]

they told me they would next week

Ah brilliant - congrats!

PFO From Birketts

So sorry to hear this! Sorry to ask, but what office did you apply to?

 

[CorporateLaw101]

Has anyone applied to Cooley in the past? If so, how long did it take to receive next stage or PFO?

 

[TCApp2021]

Has anyone applied to KPMG Law?

I’ll double check but I think I made a note of structure and questions after my VI last year - will dig it out and PM you if I find anything useful!!

I’ve been invited to the AC for the KPMG Tax GMS Technology programme- it falls under Tax & Law but is an ATT qualification rather than TC/SQE. Not sure if GR will allow me to change this to the KPM Law programme instead?
