Thank you for your response! Is there much commercial knowledge required to identify the most relevant pieces of information?

Nope!

I haven't heard of any! Their instagram is @shoosmithsgrads and they post loads of helpful stuff on there

Hi all, can I ask what are the Taylor wessing AC dates, just wondering because i have not heard back and don't know if I should assume PFO

Hey, have you heard anything? I'm still waiting for an update

Does Travers not have an AC? Remember them mentioning at an event that the next stage is an interview- does anyone know if this is competency-based, who it is with, if it’s only the one interview?

 

[djqb]

when is their deadline?

Not sure - i think it'll be on their website

Yes - I remember being told this was the format

Application ➡ Interview ➡ Vacation Scheme

Mayer Brown interview invite post-AC!

 

[TCApp2021]

No ACs at all at Travers but to be honest some of the assessed activities during the vac scheme were similar to what you might do at a typical accessment centre.

The interview is with a partner. It's a unique experience - not classically competency-based but they are obviously assessing your motivation for the career/firm, commercial awareness and want to get to know you.

Yes - I remember being told this was the format

Application ➡ Interview ➡ Vacation Scheme

Thank you!
