thank you, just got a response

 

[Asil Ahmad]

Dechert VS offer (nicely timed after a Jones Day pfo)

Spring right.

 

[JSM123]

Spring right.

Yes!

 

[Asil Ahmad]

I’m actually excited for WBD application, GR were SO NICE last year and so freaking helpful with all the YouTube videos (where my 2nd/3rd cycle peeps at? lol) that I’m looking forward to engaging with them again! So refreshing

Their deadline is 31st March and they are non-rolling so they review all applications after the deadline for anyone interested and does not know about this already.

 

[Asil Ahmad]

Yes!

Congratulations

Could anyone who’s done a Macfarlanes AC shed some light on it? My first ever AC and I have no idea what to expect is it particularly commercial?

 

[zidoeslaw]

anyone has Wiggin's grad recruitment email please?

I have looked at my portal, and it says:

'ACTIVE JOB APPLICATIONS​

• 2022 - Vacation Placement - England
  LONDON, LONDON, United Kingdom
  Status Invite to Assessment Centre

  Do I email the grad team? The ACs are on WC 7th Feb and 14th Feb, and I need to give notice at my job if that is the case. Please advise- @Jessica Booker

Yes, call them first thing tomorrow.

Would anyone like some exciting information about Dentons from an assistant campus ambassador

Definitely!

 

[Irena]

Could anyone that has done the Dentons telephone interview shed some light on how it went and what it was like?

Do you mind asking how was it as mine is tomorrow?

 

[Irena]

I have the Dentons telephone interview tomorrow, would anyone be kind enough to shed some light on it?

Hi, mine is tomorrow. Do you mind sharing some inside?

Skadden VS offer! It was my first ever AC and I can't believe it. Thanks to TCLA for demystifying the world of commercial law for a career changer like me

 

[Nemo11]

Finally completed the VI for DWF, now the long wait for an answer

Hey! Can I ask what sort of questions were asked - were they competency, situational-judgement based questions, or were there also firm specific motivation questions?

In my VI there was a mixture of competency and strength based questions, some commercial (but not as much as I thought there would be)
